Congratulations

President Obama, the "adult" in the room during negotiations to increase the debt ceiling, has now made Ron Paul look like a credible candidate.

Obama 41%, Ron Paul 37%

It's just sad when even the King of SNARK thinks Paul is making sense and the scientific community is united in that fact.

The Wall Street Journal opines that Obama remains far more interested in maneuvering to blame a default or credit downgrade on Republicans than in making himself part of any plausible solution to a crisis he insists is imminent.
