US budget compromise

Basically, Obama gave the reins of leadership to the Republicans and is now claiming victory. In avoiding cuts to Planned Parenthood, Obama has given away High Speed Rail, money for energy conservation, money for programs related to climate change, roughly a billion dollars from EPA to provide money for water/pollution cleanup while all together avoiding any cuts that is antithetical to corporate interest. There is of course, one defence cuts, but that is for environmental clean up efforts by the defense department.
Also, the Congress has agreed to remove Rocky Mountain Wolf from endangered list.

A little anecdote about Washington. If Democrats and Republicans play poker, democrats will lose even with a Royal Flush and Republicans win even with 2 as a high card... nuts ...
