Quote of the Day

"'Sorry guys, I know you said take it or leave it, and I know you cut the deal while I was out of the room -- or while I was in a different room -- but it's unacceptable to my caucus.'" Oregon Democrat Peter DeFazio, describing what the Democratic caucus was saying when they voted to reject President Obama's deal with Rethug leaders. The vote is symbolic and not binding on the Representatives, but is an indication of how angry they are that they were left out of "negotiations" by the White House.
