If the differences are very modest, and swift passage is important, in his shoes I’d give the other side much of the modest modifications it asks, get a landslide positive vote for the measure in the Senate, and sign it into law promptly. After all, what they’ll sign off on is only a very modest distance from me getting it all my way. And I don’t aspire to having everything exactly my way all the time.

I’m watching the White House press briefting and they are claiming it’s only a 7/100’s of one percent of the money in the bill that’s getting all the negative comments. The Dems should pull the 50 million for the arts, the money for STD and the like and put more in infrastructure and direct job creation and get that crap off the table. There are bigger issues the GOP will have to address to get a bill they’ll support then those.
BTW, they are finally taking tough questions from Fox at every conference.
