Consider this:
Because of the way negotiations between President Obama and Speaker Boehner were handled (or mishandled) the failure to hammer out a deal will be "permanently damaging" to Washington, says David Chalian, Washington bureau chief for Yahoo! News.It was predictable that they wouldn't agree. Why should the Republicans grant Obama's wishes or vice versa? This was all predictable and some people wished for it. They wished for it because of what happened in the nineties when Clinton and the Republicans shared power. But it didn't work out that way this time, did it?
The stench of Washington will continue to be a stench as long as there is no resolution of the matter in favor of one group or another. The end of the stench requires that the Democrats must go, or the Republicans. If the next election produces another stalemate, the stench will smell the same.
