"As part of this pose, Obama threatened to veto any short-term debt-ceiling hike.
Which has become Obama's most vulnerable point. Is the catastrophe of default preferable to a deal that gives us, say, five months to negotiate something more significant — because it doesn't get Obama through Election Day?
Which is why Obama is already in retreat. On Wednesday, press secretary Jay Carney showed the first crack by saying the president would accept an extension of a few days if needed to complete an already agreed-on long-term deal.
Meaning that he would exercise his veto if that larger deal required several months rather than several days?
Call his bluff."
