Maybe I missed something? What was the compromise? Boehner “allowed” the President to give a speech? What did Republicans give up?
Compromise…that is an awfully forgiving word…

justmy2 commented on the blog post Obama Threatens Veto – Of Any Debt Limit Deal Under $2 Trillion
So why does the headline say the veto threat is about the amount, as opposed to threatening a bill that doesn’t extend the debt ceiling past Nov ’12. I don’t see the veto link to $2T in the linked story? Can you clarify?

Where is the $2 Trillion threat?
In his meeting with congressional leaders today, President Obama said he would veto any deficit reduction bill that doesn’t raise the debt ceiling until after the November 2012 election, sources tell ABC News.
I don’t understand how the timing of the next debt ceiling vote is linked to the amount of the separate deficit cuts they are discussing?
