"You don't understand negotiation/compromise!!!"
"It was the best we could do!!!!!! You should be thanking President Obama!!!!"
"He didn't have a choice!!!!!!"
"It's really a victory for our side!!!!!!! If you squint really hard, and look through this fogged up pair of glasses and tilt your head sideways then you'll see how clear it is that we really won and Obama's 12 level chess won the day again!!!!"

And no matter how many posts you can pull out from the archives showing that some of us predicted this level of caving and they all denied it would ever happen, they will never ever admit they were wrong.
