This is the same tactic Obama used when he flipped on FISA. He had been against the corps being given immunity, flipped on a Friday before a break, so that when it came time to vote on it again, the ruckus flap his flip flop caused wouldn't make headlines when the vote came up.

Thing is, Pelosi isn't going to back down on this one.

So where does that leave the distinguished junior senator from Illinois when the vote comes up after the recess, hmmm?

It isn't such a good idea to stab your allies in the back like this, especially in an election year, when you are losing your lead in the polls BEFORE the conventions.
