Obama can't offer them a "face saving" out like JFK did for Kruschev. Anything that seems to appease them makes them demand more.

There is no negotiating with Teapublicans. They're just like hostage takers. And they actually have everything they ever wanted. Regulations aren't working, so demanding fewer is for show. Tax reform would raise taxes on the middle class and the one percent is so bloated with cash that more seems insane.

Truth is, they are the tyrants.
