waiting until after the November elections.

I am guessing that they were surprised by the strength their opponents showed in the election, which left them in
a weaker bargaining position than they would have been if they started this argument prior to that.

There was no reason this had to wait till now. They wasted months of what could have been good organizing and education time, lots of phone calls, letters, and meetings, President Opama using his command of the podium and free access to reporters to juxtapose hungry children with wealthy millionaires. That could have potentially changed the outcome.

We will never know, but we do know that the hundred billion or so the wealthy may walk away with could have been spent in a far
better manner for this country. And we know that those people contributed heavily to the campaign. And anyone is free to take from that what they want.

Then again, it's not over yet.
