78. Operation Chaos? Anyways ---> 'UPDATE:'
"UPDATE: Two other people, one in the room and one briefed on the meeting, said the tenor of the meeting more broadly was not confrontational, and indeed that it ended with applause for Sperling. Attendees were pleased, they said, that the White House had rebuffed attempts to cut Medicaid and had stuck by its position that cuts to entitlements would have to be accompanied by changes to the tax code to produce new revenues."

So much for the unquestionable veracity of political blogs.
