McConnell should put his efforts into getting the Senate to pass a budget, and then take the negotiations to the House-Senate budget reconciliation process.

It was Republican stupidity to negotiate directly with Obama. This gives Obama a platform to look presidential, and ultimately makes the Republicans look weak when they cave. Besides, and "deal" agreed to here still has to pass the House, and then the Senate will finally have to pass a budget that contains the "deal."

Instead, this should have stayed in Congress, forcing the Senate Democrats to go on the record with a plan, and making Obama look like the bystander that he really is.

Thank you for posting that..I agree.. he did this before and they fell for it early on. Uses this for his advantage..struts his stuff...and makes the rep.s look foolish to say the least.

I’m so disgusted with the Repubs.they have not figured out how to manever around Obamas plays, even when he’s so obvious, or they simply are putting on a show and have no intentions of carrying thru what they say.
