while i'm not entirely sure that i want to bother with this thread given the idiocy of the op, i'll nonetheless say that i'm less disappointed in the minor capitulation to the right around this bush tax cuts for the wealthy (because in the doing obama got alot of other things that the administration had been after, including extension of unemployment) than i am in the administration's decision to take the pressure off israel to stop building those fucking settlements around jerusalem and in the west bank.
**that** is a capitulation to the right. an abject capitulation.
