President Obama almost won the battle with the Republican and he is almost cocky about it.
Game theory says that now he should concede some wins to the Republican, in order to allow them an honorable defeat.
But President Obama stance is very uncompromising at the moment “My way or the highway”. If it keeps like that he could get
a default for real.
Also in  the Republican Party is starting to appear a serious crack between the moderate “pro business” Republican and the Tea Party members.
The latest from Washington say that a deal is not even close…the various factions just agreed to talk.
