This is all part of expected negotiations. Read Woodward's book for similar tactics during the debt ceiling negotiations.

If Obama stands firm, he may get a favorable deal, but don't expect a deal soon.

...any contact with reality is sure to be shocking. These losers are so brainwashed on their "trickle down" bumper sticker slogans that they can't understand that not only have their policies failed but been repudiated big time at the ballot box. The constant lies and misinformation of the "Conservative Entertainment Media" has so warped their worldview they are still hard-pressed to come to grips with a country where they are now a minority and growing less relevant every day.

Any "compromise" Boner makes is sure going to be fun to watch the shitstorm that will brew on the cables and hate radio. Remember, these are the shitstains who wouldn't even take a 10:1 spending cuts to tax increase deal a year ago. This is a party that only knows how to campaign...not to govern...and they campaign very poorly these days.
