There’s still a smattering of “poor me” from a portion of the Left regarding the tax deal. Essentially, the Republicans’ Holy Grail of keeping taxes historically low for the upper 2% of incomes was supported by President Obama only after getting major concessions on issues that affect the middle class. Stacked side by side, I think it’s clear that the president got a better deal than anyone thought he would get in the wake of November’s “shellacking.”
