35. Your graph doesn't make your point.

"When the negotiating graphs look like this, we clearly have a serious problem within our own party: "

Obama's first offer was strong. He should have stuck with that.

His third offer sucks. The problem is negotiating with Republicans.

We can go on all day about the logic behind the President's third offer, but the end result is: no deal. Boehner rejected it.
