... are not at least half of the $30 billion Biden 'deal' with Weeper of the House Boehner, well, then, yup, you've got to call it 'caving' to the Repuglicans.

3. Caving:
GOP budget to leave Social Security alone


The strategy to have the GOP take the first step out on the limb seems to have been effective. They're cowards.

4. Well what do you know?
Obama and his team know everything, they know what is possible.

You are ruining everything by questioning the deals Obama makes. He knows what is possible but it's not possible if you don't believe those are all that's possible.

Because you don't know what Obama knows and because he and his team are in charge, it's your job to like whatever deals they make.

We don't need your opinion, why? Obama already has explained what your opinion should be. Is your opinion different? Well don't say it, why? Because your opinion is unrealistic or wrong if it is not what the Administration is already doing.

I hope this makes things clearer
