7. Offered ever thing they wanted? Thats not negotiation

Thats not even calling their bluff when you don't get to take home the ante. I wouldn't be proud of that. Now they are going to ask for everything that was on the table, before Obama asked for Revenue. Thats not good.

3. Obama knows how to play hardball. Good for him.

On the bright side, we're getting some solid information via Twitter from Chuck--and, thank heavens, no disturbing pictures of his Whitey Bulger!
