• Bless his heart, I have respect for Mitt Romney, but I do not have respect for what he has done through this debt increase debate. He did this.

And then he came out and he made a statement, that he didn't like the deal after all. You know, you can't defer an issue and assume that the problem is going to be then avoided.
