Let us remember that the GOP still has a strong majority in the House and that most of the Tea Party caucus was re-elected.
Though pundits and wingnuts are currently wringing their hands in public, it will become clear in a couple of months that President Obama will not be able to have a legislative agenda, or at least one the changes anything.
You compromise. The Speaker wants 0 and Obama wants 13 so make it 6.5.
