he called their tactics "extortion" which is true and which it's frustrating that he hasn't said similar before. I hear people complaining about the GOP tactics but I can only get outraged up to a point if the Democrats are enabling them. If it's just kabuki theater. Does Obama saying "extortion" mean it's not kabuki anymore? Probably not, but who knows.

Anyway, that's what matters and pundits like Dowd hate it when politics in D.C. threaten to become relevant for regular people.
