Sure, you didn't. You staked your presidency on this naked centralized power grab, but somehow expect us to believe you weren't on top of every aspect of the negotiations?
"Reid and Schumer kept up the "shuttle negotiation" between the leader's conference room and his top aide's office, Boxer said. Keenly aware how tense the talks were, the White House dispatched two aides who together have decades of experience in the Senate -- Jim Messina and Peter Rouse -- to work with Nelson. They relayed their intelligence to White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, who monitored the talks from a dinner in Georgetown."
What a shameless liar.
We wonder which Obama we're going to get in tonight's State of the Union Address - a chastened, humbled president who's now willing to provide the centrist philosophy and spirit of compromise he promised us on so many occasions during his campaign for office, or a cornered, wounded chief executive who's going to double down on his arrogant mistakes and come out "fighting", as so many pundits from both parties are predicting?
We're with the pundits on this one. He's most likely going to concede nothing, continue on with his radical agenda and cost his party big time in November. Maybe at that time the liberal Democrats will finally stop marching right off the political cliff with him.
