Gee, Greg, that pesky problem you have with reading is bothering you again, it seems.

I told you Obama won in the budget shutdown crunch, and exactly why this is so.   Then I asked politely for your counter-theory, since it seems you may possibly disagree with mine.

I can't tell you how surprised I am that despite being asked to provide your counter-theory, you have not found time to come up with one.   One might think that you are afraid you would not be able to defend your theory.   Whereas I am always perfectly ready to defend mine.

I'm sure there is another reason for your inability to actually come up with an idea of your own.

It couldn't possibly be that you are only used to issuing ex cathedra statements and you consider it an outrage to be asked to actually defend what you say.

Nah, no chance of that.
