Obama "compromises" with the GOP for extending the tax cuts
I'm interested in what other peoples thoughts are on this. I see it has a unfortunate but smart move. In order to pass future legislation for the next 2 years this had to be done and now the GOP can no longer say Obama is anti-republican in blindly rejecting their ideas and legislation.
On a side note, I'm really getting sick of the GOP playing their stupid games. Their job is to govern the country to the best of their ability, not throw a hissy-fit and refuse not to do anything until they get their way. They're all a bunch of middle aged children if you ask me.

He passionately defended his record against Democrats who complain he's breaking campaign promises.
