The saddest part for your side is that a REAL businessman, not a take over/makeover guy like Romney (whatever his other faults), would be able to present a proposal that makes sense .. likely something very much in the Bowles-Simpson mold.
The saddest thing on our side is that the President does not have the communications talent of a Reagan or Clinton to sell Simpson Bowels to the public. obviously Mitt lacks those skills as well.
Tom paraphrase Pogo, we have met the real victim and he is us.
