He can't really be this obtuse and negotiate away the entire store yet again. He made concrete campaign promises to not cut SS and Medicare, and to never negotiate with himself again. Then, as soon as the election is over, he falls right back into his confrontation aversion personality again. Compromise at all cost. He is going against public opinion, which is firmly on his side, just to appease fucking Boehner AGAIN! And Boehner does what he always does - pulls away the football AGAIN. Someone needs to save the President from himself.
