In my opinion. I would think a Democratic leader would not put so many of his fellow Democrats in a position of weakness just to make a bluff.

What ever happens from now there will be many who will remember what the Democrats were willing to do to protect the wealthy. It will always be there and will have a negative effect on the 2014 elections. I have no doubt the repukes will already be creating the political ads with grandma chained to something with the warning that Democrats wanted to take away social security.

Not the first time President Obama sold out the liberals and it won't be the last.
