When you play poker, the key to winning is not found in your cards, it is found in the other people around the table. The saying used to be that if you look around the poker table and cannot identify the sucker, then it is probably you. When President Obama plays poker, or negotiates a treaty, he can never find the sucker at the table because it is always him. What gambler would remove the bluff of using nuclear weapons against a biological/chemical weapon attack?
When negotiating the passage of Obamacare, some Democrats held out for state exemptions from Medicare costs increases. Others held out for releasing water to agricultural lands in their state. One got his brother put on the federal bench. Then there is Bart Stupak, a formerly Pro-Life Democrat who sold out his one core issue for an empty promise from the President.
Or did he? Perhaps Stupak is a better negotiator than we suspected. On the same day that Stupak announces that he will not run for re-election to the House, liberal stalwart Justice John Paul Steven announces that he is retiring from the Supreme Court.
Is this a coincidence? Stupak is a hack, but so was Justice Sotomayor before CNN/MSNBC/NewYorkTimes/WashingtonPost/NPR began their glowing reviews. Maybe Stupak was a better negotiator than we suspected.
