9. "The leaders rarely pass on opportunities to kiss Obama's ass ...". I've seen Boehner and McConnell

accused of a lot of things, rightly so, but this is the first time I remember them being accused of "rarely pass on opportunities to kiss Obama's ass".

I agree that both sides have bipartisanship. The partisan split on the vote will be interesting, but so will the tea party caucus vs. "moderate" republicans and the Progressive Caucus vs. "moderate" Democrats. To date the tea party caucus is 20-No, 1-Yes, 3-Undecided; the Progressive Caucus is 18-No, 10-Yes, 7-Undecided.
