How about Obama gaining the trust and gratitude of the Democratic Party?

<<FWIW, this interview with Jeff Immelt by Charlie Rose has some hints as to why Obama is playing softball with the Rs.

Basically--it amounts to Obama gaining the trust and gratitude of the corporate community if this fiscal cliff business gets taken care of. About half way through the interview.>>

What is this trip about needing the corporate communities blessing on anything. I would suggest most of those corporate CEO's are not our finest citizens and certainly should not be listened to on how to run our country?

"trust and gratitude of the corporate community"

If Obama cuts some sort of crap deal with Boner for the above reason, I will not be happy..
