President Obama, Congress CALL THE GOP'S BLUFF!!!
They're bluffing

I know it

I always know when they are because thats when the most faux outrage is present

They're banking on you guys making more concessions, but if put to a vote, it will pass, without filibuster.

I mean, who wants to be the guy that voted against "hope?"

The Republicans will cave last minute, after all their bluster.

3. I think so - and I hope so
The longer this drags on, the more it plays into the GOP's hands
