Is this President Obama's Bullhorn Moment?
He's telling the American people he HEARS them. He's standing up to the tea-orists. Tonight's press conference/speech could be a defining moment!

1. But he was still willing to cut SS and Medicare and Medicaid to get
things for the Repubs to agree too! Am I right about that?

3. Was that part of a strategy?
What some here have been saying for days may be true, that he's been playing chess, that he outmaneuvered the House of Ill-Repukes.

7. "fundamental" is the key word

5. Defining moment... You're kidding, right?
All President Obama did this afternoon was step up to the podium and tell us that nothing had happened and we are in the exact same situation we were yesterday. Boy, it doesn't take much, I tell ya...

We may not know for some time. We may look back to today and say this is the day we got our spine and said enough is enough. I hope it is.
