No, I see Obama and the Dems as being the naive, Ron...

They played right into the Doomsday PR propaganda that has been pushed on us ever since the Super Committee failed to find common ground and now we have signed on to a bad deal that only insures that the Republicans and, more importantly, the Tea Party is back in control of the discussion going toward the debt ceiling hostage situation... Throw in the spending cuts which must be decided over the next two months, I'd say that Obama and the Dems were holding a full-house and backed down from the Repubs who bluffed them with a pair of deuces...

The worst part about it is that the Repubs now fully understand that Obama will "fold 'um" over and over and over...

The very worst part about this is that the bill is bad policy...
