Simpson and Bowles have been endorsing Republicans in some key House races as well.

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.
