Yesterday, the House Dems had enough of Obama's desire to give away the store because of his bipartisan fetish.
Where most peoples' fetishes include things like "whip and chill" or strategically placed hot fudge sauce, these things are between two or more adults and WILL NOT do harm to the middle class and working poor as the tax "compromise" would do.
Today, Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), America's senator, is giving the most wonderful, sanity-restoring filibuster. This is American commonsense.
Kudos, Sen. Sanders.

It's a misinterpretation that's taken hold from the day Gibbs said it.
