Obama could have gotten everything we need by pinning it all on their damn tax cuts

[lunatica]

The Republicans would have done anything to keep those tax cuts. Anything. Obama could have turned the tables on them and used those same tax cuts as his weapon to get everything we need. He could have reduced the giveaway to the rich and the greedy Republicans would have taken it, because there is no way in hell they would give them up. Their greed would be the very thing Obama could use to get major concessions out of them.

THAT would be a chess game.
