(68 posts)I'm still finding out what this deal boils down to on some levels, while at the same time I struggle with how one side could win a national election holding a mandate but appear to negotiate as timidly ? I believe there's proof enough that the majority of Americans see the GOP as the big problem, so it baffles me how it seems to be the case again that Mr. Obama would negotiate this way ?
If there's anything to take from this on a positive note it's that for all their "NO COMPROMISE" tough-talk, republicans ( tea-party fringe ), have some splaining to do. Yeah, they can go home claiming that they cut taxes, but they also agreed with the president to raise taxes on their beloved, fictional "job creators" in the process, wanna hear them sell that back in their districts ?
