re: #78 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Agreeing to McConnell’s deal now would be snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Democrats are traditionally really good at that, but I think in this case, Obama knows he’s got the GOP leadership’s balls in a vise, so he doesn’t need to do anything except wait them out, especially now that the Chamber of Commerce is telling the GOP to get on with it and make a deal.
