Honestly, I think the President should have put his foot down, explained that he would veto any bill that didn't include revenue increments, and then invoked the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling without the fools in Congress.

The problem with the 14th is it is uncharted territory, it would have created a **** storm and then the Get Obama Party would have gone into impeachment mode and even if it were to be unsuccessful, it would waste a lot of time and another three ring circus, and I feel Obama knew that going in.

But i agree he should have been more forceful, other than avoiding default, I am not happy with this outcome.
