text: Mr. Milbank continues to tow the Democrat Party line. He attempts to remind me of history. However, he forgets that 6 times since 1985 Presidents and Congress have negotiated on the debt ceiling, a must pass legislation that links with the Continuing Resolution (spending bill). The last President was Obama in 2011 over the Budget Control Act. http://hotair.com/archives/2013/09/19/wapo-4-pinocchios-for-obama-extort-claim-on-debt-ceiling-negotiations/
