But I've looked pretty closely at the details of those compromises already made, and a few other things

I've noticed that this President has a punitive streak, and a real knack for getting his opponents to punish themselves for opposing him. There will be a lot of kicking and screaming over the next year, for sure, but I think the difference will be that they'll be screaming because they can no longer stop things from getting done.
You shouldn't believe me without evidence, so watch for it: I think the GOP is going to start inexplicably rolling over on the jobs issue and many others. The only reason they would do such a thing is if the President has already gamed the system so they don't have a choice.
