| 24. Bullshit. In poker sometimes you BLUFF and force the other player to fold. |

Obama and the Dems should have forced a Xmas Eve vote on unemployment extensions and used the press to trumpet the vote in the weeks leading up to it. The public would have been riveted to the vote and time was there to put public pressure on them to vote. If they did vote not to extend, then they come off looking like heartless assholes and the Dems are protected for trying to fight for it.
