Why are you presuming Obama will be ok with not getting everything he wants? When has Obama ever been ok with not having every single one of his demands satisfied? Ditto for Reid and Pelosi. I sense that they are gonna demand all or nothing and the House GOP will by Oct 17 have given them all.
I didn't say he was OK with it. But I did say he does not get all he wants:
Gun control
Cap and trade
Sequestration
Recess appts denied
