Durbin called Republicans "irresponsible" and "hypocritical" for their role in the impasse over raising the nation’s debt ceiling.

Is Durbin right? Are the Republicans playing politics? Trying to pass the blame of the debt completely onto Obama to hurt his reelection chances?

Yes...absolutely.  Here's an excerpt from a conversation between Laura Ingram and Bill O'Reilly as reported by the Huffington Post:

Speaking to guest host Laura Ingraham from Los Angeles, O'Reilly said he had taken a "moderate" stance on the debt crisis, and he warned Republicans who have so far been unwilling to pass a debt ceiling increase would only be helping President Obama, who he said had taken an "enormous hit" from the debate.

"The only thing that can save Barack Obama at this point is craziness on the right," he said. "...It's not only going to hurt the Republican party, which has already been hurt, but it's going to save President Obama who they hate."

"Exactly," Ingraham said.

The bolding is mine.

O'Reilly's words hit on the real reason for this manufactured debate....they HATE Obama and will do anything to hurt him...the country be damned in the process.  The more Obama's ratings drop because of this debacle, the more the Tea Party is spurred on to continue with their hate driven campaign.
