The president has become too powerful relative to Congress, former General Electric (http://data.cnbc.com/quotes/GE) boss Jack Welch (http://www.cnbc.com/id/10001249) told CNBC on Friday, as optimism increased for a debt ceiling extension and an agreement to end the 11-day government shutdown."That's been happening for a long time and it's accelerated this time" under President Barack Obama (http://www.cnbc.com/id/10000398), said Welch, executive chairman of the management institute at Strayer University that bears his name.


President Obama has changed "15 regulations at least" from the time Obamacare was law, he said. "Law in enforced by regulation. He changed the employer mandate. He put Congress in. He did a whole series of things," Welch said.
He also said both sides of the aisle have failed "Negotiation 101" by not putting themselves in each other's shoes and trying to figure out what the other side would accept.


"Both sides went down the wrong path. The Republicans take on the president's signature [health-care] bill and they say, 'Defund it.' By definition, that's not sitting across the table," he added—saying the GOP are the worst marketers of their ideas. "I wouldn't let Republicans market an iPad when it came out," he said. "They can't market anything."
"Then the president says, 'I will not negotiate.' That's not a position I can accept either," Welch said.

Bolding is mine. I couldn't agree more, the Republicans made complete fools of themselves, are now in the process of capitulating and all they did is distract everyone from the ObamaCare mess which is the greatest gift to them in my lifetime.

About all they got out of this is that Barack Obama demonstrated to the world what a nasty little thug and bully he really is.

On purpose. They wanted to cleanse the Tea Party out. Ted Cruz is married to a VP at Goldman Sachs and worked for Bush. Sorry. I trust him as much as I trust Dick Morris.
