1. The last line of this OP is of course an open question

I am proud of how firm both the President and Democrats in Congress have been in holding the line against Republican extortion so far. But I am very concerned over how the larger debate continues to be reframed along Republican lines. Obamacare is a matter that needs to be revisited, gun violence isn't. Deficit Cutting is of central importance and a top priority, job growth isn't. When that type of framing takes hold it is clear what type of "compromises" will be expected.
