The T-word — “triangulation” — began to circulate across Capitol Hill as lawmakers recalled how President Bill Clinton distanced himself from his party’s liberal base and from conservatives as he positioned himself for a reelection run.
White House officials rejected the idea Thursday that they were abandoning their allies and said Obama was still seeking fresh tax revenue in a final deal.
“It is absolutely essential that any ‘grand bargain,’ if you will, any significantly sized deficit-reduction package be balanced; that it contain — that it address all the drivers of our long-term debt and our significant deficits,” White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters.
Pelosi, now the House minority leader, stayed largely silent ahead of the White House meeting, which was designed in part to ease nerves on the left.

I saw that maggot making jokes about Boehner hiding and crying with his box of kleenex.
Totally inappropriate, and if the roles were reversed, that is an R saying that about a D, Pravda would explode.

folks, this is Hussein’s Cult version of Kabuki theatre. They’re not mad at him and he is fully aware they are on his side.
Give me a break. They are POSING to make him appear moderate. He detests prosperity as much as these assclowns...he is pretending to care.
He doesn’t.
