2. I Did Detect An Angry Tone In His Speech Today And I Must Say I'm Refreshed By This......

I think this government shutdown and fiscal cliff showdown gave him the resolve to take a hard line going forward. I heard the following from him today:

No more Mr. Nice Guy. If you guys want to play dirty - I can play dirty too. If you are willing to talk about ideas and come to some agreement on the things we can agree on - I'm willing to do that and work with you. BUT - there will be no more hostage holding tactics that will be tolerated. I've learned - the American People have learned and it ain't gonna happen again folks.

Now "Play Ball"!!!!!
