The trillion dollar coin: now Obama impresses me. [View all]

After negotiating us back from the fiscal cliff only to put us on the edge of another debt limit standoff, Obama has sprung this on the GOP.

He's letting them know that he holds all the cards. He doesn't even have to negotiate with them. He's won their cash, their bank accounts, their wallets, their shoes, socks, pants, shirts and undershirts, and their iPhones. The game's over and they're going home in their boxers.

No they're not. He won their homes, too.

Quite an accomplishment playing chess. Checkmate!

He had to have planned this in December. This is the kind thing that I've only seen Bugs Bunny do, and Bugs lives in a cartoon universe.

I'm impressed with Obama now. Unlike all other two term presidents I've seen, I'm looking forward to a better 2nd term than 1st term.
