Bad Meme Rising: The WaPo is out with a long, reported tick tock on the failed “grand bargain” deficit cutting negotiations of last summer. It’s hard to read and not reach one conclusion: Obama blew it. But he is still the smartest man ever to become… Uh, what we mean is that experience is not needed when you have great judge…. What we’re really trying to say is… damn, stooopid Fox News Washington Post!

FTA:
According to the Post, the two sides (Obama and Boehner) were close to a deal. Then Obama foolishly trumpeted a “Gang of Six” proposal that had a much higher tax number, which had the effect of making the deal look small. ** He then demanded a 50% increase ($400 billion) in new revenues. When the talks then blew up, he tried to get his old deal back, but it was too late.

Personally, I think Odumbass got nervous that he would look like a right winger if he were able to come to an agreement with Boehner, so he sabotaged the deal on purpose.
Yep. He absolutely did. He also was qing up the "Republicans are mean and don't care about people" thing. At this point in time Republicans have to know that Obama has no intention to negotiate or come to the center. That is why nothing good is getting done.
