Simpson and Bowles have been endorsing Republicans in some key House races as well. (And if you listen to “fix the debt” board member Ed Rendell on television, it’s clear he wouldn’t be unhappy with a Republican sweep as well — if only to finally purge the Democratic Party of its liberals.)This is not a non-partisan group by a long shot.
I don’t need to tell any of my readers that these people are not honest brokers. But I sure hope President Obama remembers who his friends were when the election was very close and he needed all the help he could get. Let’s just say it wasn’t Pete Peterson, David Walker and the rest of the deficit hawks. No matter how much he tries they will never give him their approval.
