But he did get that email from Sperling revealed. You know, the one where Sperling says:

"The idea that the sequester was to force both sides to go back to try at a big or grand barain with a mix of entitlements and revenues (even if there were serious disagreements on composition) was part of the DNA of the thing from the start."

And again, later on:

"There may have been big disagreements over rates and ratios — but that it was supposed to be replaced by entitlements and revenues of some form is not controversial."

Has the President backed away from any of that?
