back in a compromise with the WH. He is complaining about the 'pork'? So they strike it out and give it back to him to sign. They could say that they met him half way. Benchmarks, they stay. In any deal you ask for more than you expect to get, you intend to give it up. This makes everyone feel that they won something. It would make them seem reasonable while making * sound petulant wanting his way on every point.
