What a push over.

It was a compromise in that this was the only way he could save himself from taking more flak from the middle class. If he would have said no and stood against the republicans and they didn't budge then he would be the guy who wasn't able to get an unemployment extension through and he just dropped a tax hike on everyone. It would have been bad for both parties,but potentially disastrous for Obama.
He needed to stand up to the republicans and call their bluff months ago before they were in a position of power and he was so vulnerable.
Get used to it, Obama now has to deal with them and he will if he wants to get re-elected.
