Regardless of how it's being dressed up(or not, in this case), Obama and his team seem to think that we will support him no matter what he does(and a disturbing number of people do).

Think about that for a moment. If he decides to turn our nuclear arsenal on Iraq, he is confident that the base will support him no matter how he justifies it. Seen from that perspective, our opinions and ideas are of no worth to him- he already has our support. Now, he will use that firm base to win over people from the other side of the isle, and he'll do it by giving them what they want. After all, we'll support him, no matter what.

Politically speaking, you couldn't be in a better position. Realistically speaking, this is a train wreck waiting to happen. By going quid pro quo with the enemy, they'll get everything they could ever want, and when the time comes, they'll simply withdraw support. After all, how are we going to hold them to their word?
