Here's The Deal....

....President Obama and the Dems are in an historically strong position vis-a-vis the despised teabagger-dominated Rethuglican / New Confederate Party.  They should set the deal thusly:  without precondition, open the Government through FY 2014 and increase the debt limit through January 2015.  We'll give you the sequestration budget levels plus cost-of-living adjustment for FY2014 with a separate, significant jobs / stimulus program like 2009's.  No change in "ObamaCare" and no discussion on entitlement programs until after the 2014 mid-term elections.  That's more than fair.  TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.
