I wish the President and Speaker would remember that successful negotiations involve stating underlying interests as opposed to positions.
@jahimes You said it Jim. I sent you an email today and would like to send it to Chris Murphy, does he have a senate email or site yet?
@jahimes The biggest problem is that the #1 interest of both sides is preserving (or expanding) their own power, over interests of country.
@jahimes Different visions, yes. But O's rigidity & @SpeakerBoehner's #purge show each putting own power b4 solving anything. #tcot
@jahimes do the roles of Fed vs State play into the discussion? If not, should it?
