BIPARTISAN SOLUTIONS come AFTER a merging of LEFT and RIGHT IDEAS

[polichick]

Not after a merging of FAR-RIGHT (Ryan) and CENTER-RIGHT (debt commission or gang of six) ideas.

Does the WH know that yet?

1. still convinced you know what Obama will say tonight?

[polichick]

3. It's pretty clear that he won't be touting the progressive caucus plan.

2. You have to account for more people than just yourself or those who agree with you

If a person refuses to be objective about what is out there, they can interpret anything to be a right or center right idea.

I know right wingers who insist Obama is a socialist. Why be as blind as they?

[polichick]

4. He's supposed to be a Dem - will he start negotiations from the progressive plan?

[Bobbie Jo]

5. Once again, your framing is based on misleading assumptions.

Very Faux Newsish....

[polichick]

6. So the prez will start negotiating from the left (progressive caucus ideas)?

[polichick]

7. Guess we'll find out within the hour.

[polichick]

8. Did he mention the progressive caucus plan? (Had to miss some of the speech.)

[FrenchieCat]

9. Read the transcript. It has been posted.

[Avant Guardian]

10. Right wing 'ideas' got us where we are now

The right wing has no solutions.

[polichick]

11. That's why it's so important to begin negotiations from the LEFT...

I see (transcript) that the prez didn't mention the progressive caucus plan.

[Avant Guardian]

12. There is no 'negotiating' with the RW

They start from an absurdly extreme position then 'give up' the looniest parts as a 'compromise.'

[polichick]

13. So it's crazy to let them frame the issue - ever!
