My major gripe is his negotiating style....he gives in way too easily IMO

This was the perfect issue to take to the wall. It's got everything.

*the reps are the party of by and for the rich
*deficit reduction
*it's the status quo, you don't have to pass anything
*the reps already rejected a middle class tax cut so it's on their back
*taxes are the lowest in generations
*if the reps cut off the unemployed, well, that's not exactly popular
*no offset to about $700 billion in lost revenue

You've got to take the easy wins. The Reps are celebrating. They love Obama. He's weak and just made them look strong and went a long way towards giving them the WH in '12.

You think if we had Hillary she would have caved?
