I'm not sure that Obama has a sustained game of hardball in him. It doesn't seem to be the way he rolls.

No telling what he could have gotten the first 6 months his mandate was so strong, but he never used it. Even health care he turned over to congress which fiddled while his mandate evaporated. And Summers and Geithner over Krugman and Stiglitz when facing a 1930's depression. Really? He never did anything for the real estate market, or middle America. But he won't get us in a nuclear war and wiil appoint moderates to the supreme court. Romney might get us in a nuclear war and he would appoint more Scalias to the bench..
