Dec 2012

but I'm just not seeing a problem here.

The GOP must be having conniptions.

A.) If the president doesn't just GIVE them what they want, the tax cuts expire and the cuts start in, and the GOP looks like idiots

B.) If the president gives them a few things, the negotiations will be public, forcing the GOP's radical position into the open, and they look like idiots or crooks

I'm looking forward to this one...
