So does President Obama really want the trigger over the opt out?
Is he just freakin' obsessed with faux bipartisanship because only 1 repub doesn't = bipartisanship. Or am I just paranoid after this long drama.

I trust the president but if this is true, it is a real disappointment.

Is this just Politico bs??

1. He wants a good bill.
Now, we all disagree on what's a good bill and what isn't .... but since he's the duely elected President of the United States, he gets to be .... ya know .... the decider and all.

3. Did Obama say that he wanted the trigger over the Opt Out?
Cause I've heard unnamed sources saying that,
but I haven't heard him say it. Have you?
