Bill, the Obama administration has been so in sync with the plot development of The West Wing, that I can only wonder if his next step is to make the no-compromise Republicans look snotty and selfish at some crucial point in time involving reporters, in such a way that it will be plainly, un-spinnably clear to EVERYONE that their priorities are NOT the people who voted for them.

He did say a while back that he'll stand up to them over the right issue at the right time. I'm not sure that will happen, but I'd welcome it.
