In reply to the discussion: White House To Boehner: Obamacare Not Part Of Fiscal Cliff Deal [View all]BlueCaliDem

And then the threats will follow . . . but there's no more threatening holding out their vote for him. Instead, they have to attack other Democratic voters and discredit Democratic pols. Too bad for them, President Obama was well aware of their temper tantrums and fickle natures (he got a good taste of it in 2010 although they all SWEAR they had voted for him, heck, even canvased for him and registered new voters for him - uh-huh) and that's why he solved that problem by broadening his voting coalition. I bet that strategy made them plenty angry.
