Yep, I'm sure that is exactly how the democratic party (leverage holders post-election) are going to play it. Save the military budget, let all the cuts hit domestic spending, and all just to keep the middle class tax cuts in place, which everyone wants.
Brilliant.
Anyhow, to point out yet another problem with your half assed response, the nation craves stability and some proof that our government can work together. What Obama is offering is an olive branch that will reassure and help everyone right out of the gate that all sides should be able to agree on.
