the house passed a bill to raise the debt limit with bipartisan support. and this week, while the senate is struggling to pass a bill filled with phony accounting and washington gimmicks, we're going to pass another bill, one that was developed with the support of the bipartisan leadership of the u.s. senate. >> that was president obama and house speaker john boehner at the height of the debt-limit crisis last summer. and bob woodward has more behind-the-scenes details on that political chess match in his latest book, "the price of politics." and in it he writes, in part, the debt limit crisis was a time of peril for the united states, its economy and its place in the global financial order. when you examine the record in depth, you cannot help but conclude that neither president obama nor speaker boehner handled it particularly well. despite their evolving relationship, neither was able to transcend their fixed partisan convictions and dogmas, rather than fixing the problem, they postponed it.
