I'm still curious as to how PBO hopes to get the progressive caucus back on his side.. He's a smart man, and he knows that they are a force within the Democratic party, even if it does seem like he snubs by offering the cuts he has. They are rightfully irked with all the concession's he's made, so I hope that President Obama knows what to do in regards to getting them to work with him on this.
