In my opinion, humble as it may be, I think this was a good step for Obama; he seems to be looking at the Clinton '94 blueprint for political resurrection. And he also got a nice chunk of new stimulus out of the deal, so he didn't exactly give away the progressive store...
be careful or Nigel will come in and tell you that you are full of shit for wanting spending cuts. he will then tell you that all you want is lower taxes and that you really don't care if there are spending cuts. he will then whine about how you just pretend to care about deficit spending. After that he will go and get another cracker from his masters.

"Scientists don't use "averages". Maybe armchair supertools on message boards ascribe some meaning to "averages" between two random data points. And maybe clueless amatuers "draw a straight line" through two random end data points to define a "trend". Experts don't.
They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "
