I'm not going to debate the merits of this program versus other options, but we elected people to actually represent us, and that hasn't been happening so far.
I almost believe this is part of Obama's plan. To make sure he did everything possible to find a bipartisan agreement until he is forced to use the reconciliation process and pass whatever he wants, and then shove this partisanship of the Republicans in their faces come mid-term elections and beyond.
