Apropos of the president's earlier "I won" remark:
Clearly the president's bipartisanship has a very well defined limit. Basically, the Republicans can eat at the Big Boy Table -- that is until they start flinging their poo and removing the corks from their forks.
As long as the president can control the framing of this process, he'll successfully augment his positives while underlining the dickish behavior of the Republican leadership.
Now if only we could get someone with this level of moxie in the Senate Majority Leader post, eh?
