I think Obama’s December was like playing to a tie. He lost two big ones, even though Obama and many helpers in the media are trying to spin the continuation of the Bush tax rates as a win for Obama. That was a big loss for Obama, a loss so big much of his own party opposed his real position to end the Bush rates on upper income earners. So, Obama just did a flip/flop and finally started singing the praises of continuing all the Bush tax rates.
And the Dream Act was a loss for Obama. DA/DT was a win as was the START treaty, but most of the other bills passed had Republican support throughout.
For whatever reason, Krauthammer just seems like he wants to praise Obama this month.
TILT!!
