So, how DO you know when a Republican "agreement" is worth the paper it is written on? This time they only stuck out for a sweetener of $6.5 billion to keep their word. What will it be next time?



What really gets me is that since by definition Republicans are neither honest nor decent, how come they are almost always better at swindling?



What Obama REALLY needs to do is to apply his undoubted intelligence to the most important war to hand.   Cutting the fundie fascist arseholes and their corruption out of US politics. And while he is at it avoid future (colonialist) "squirmishes".
