D-Day For U.S. And Boehner

D-day could stand for decision-day, default-day, or it’s traditional meaning, dooms-day.  Later today, the Senate will reach some kind of deal to avoid default and reopen the government.  Then, as I posted last month the defining moment of John Boehner’s term as Speaker of the House will occur:

“Whether Boehner abandons the Tea Party and loses his Speakership, or abandons the best interests of most of the country and loses his party the majority, his days as Speaker are limited.”

What’s it gonna be?
