What Was Obama HINTING At In HIS Speech?

He says "I am reasonable unlike Republicans AND PROGRESSIVES" (see, Obama is the 3rd way. Neither right, nor left - 3rd way.)

Thus, apparently people who want to keep 100% of the Bush tax cuts are no more unreasonable than people who want to get rid of 100% of the Bush tax cuts.

In that manner, we end up keeping 85% of the Bush tax cuts - a policy which happens to mostly benefit the rich. But why be unreasonable and expect policies to benefit the majority of people instead of just the rich?

It's also his "meet Republicans half way right from the start" negotiating strategy that has been having us tear our hair out for years. Instead of starting at zero and compromising at 50%, he starts at 60%, "compromises" at 80% and then calls it a victory for progressives.

He's like a coach whose team has given up 8 field goals and he thinks that is a "success" because the other team has yet to score a touchdown. Yet neither has our team even scored a field goal and the score late in the 3rd quarter is now 24-0 in favor of the other team. And the damned coach STILL won't change his strategy, and tries to tell us that we are winning.
