You can feel the economy wants to launch, but Washington is sitting on the national mood button.

I feel so unclean If I am right and enough Republicans meet Obama on a Grand Bargain, it would both split the G.O.P. between the sane conservatives and the certifiable crazies and give the president a real foundation for a truly significant second term. That settles that

I refuse to click on a TF column.

Does he have the usual “insight” from a taxi driver?

Just add “in bed” after everything Tom Friedman says, and it instantly makes more sense.

A Grand Bargain now[...] would offer stability for the long-term

So… stability on Obama’s terms.

Why didn’t I think of that? It’ll come to me any moment now!

It has been said that when the game is on you have to play with the team you have rather than the team you wish you had. Obama had both houses for just 2 years – he will have had a split congress 4 years come the next mid-terms and and possibly six by the end of his term. His problem is that he refuses to play with the teams he has….Rather he sacrifices any constructive comprise solutions in hopes he can destroy the Republicans while America twists in the wind.

Tom Friedman’s still alive? Who knew? And doesn’t he have some organs to harvest in China or something?

A real bargain would be to swap Friedman for some chinese.

Our choice today is not “austerity” versus “no austerity.” That is a straw man argument

Like anyone believed you could get anywhere near austere…..

I read this one last week. In fact, I wrote it.
