    I haven't read the thread, but I see the outline. The original article criticizes Obama from the left for not trying harder to get Republican concessions. Jumping onto the bandwagon, Republican posters then pretend to agree.

    Barack Obama's strategy isn't to win the individual negotiation battle; it's to destroy the GOP to eliminate opposition to his programs. In that sense, he's winning and winning big. At every step, the GOP folds and says we'll fight the next battle.

    Our firm's decision to just bail looks better and better.

    From the article:

    From you:

    You took out two important qualifiers, in the process making the pluralization of 'negotiators' incorrect.

    One more thing: Does anyone really believe Obama wants to raise taxes on everybody to pay for his Big Government programs? He got exactly what he wanted: Huge government spending without having to pay for it through his presidency. What happens afterward is someone else's mess.

    When posting any political article on S2 it's best to go for shock value.

    I notice the only actual slur you shied away from using applies to "Negros". LOL

    How wimpy.
