I've got only one nit to pick with the post, and that's the category tag: "Incompetence." We get conservative policy outcomes from Obama because -- All together now! --

UPDATE Actually, I've got another nit to pick. It's not really Ds vs. Rs. It's the financial class, who benefit from everything on the right, vs. the rest of us, on the left.

More nitpicks...
As Barney Frank and Chuck Grassley pointed out, the UI benefit extension would have happened one way or another without the Tax deal. Since when have Republicans opposed equipment expensing? And, ethanol subsidies are bipartisan. Indeed, I'd even argue there is scant evidence the Republicans really wanted to do away with the tuition credit.

I think the WH lowered expectations so much, and made UI benefits seem so hard to get, that when the deal came out, people didn't realize this is essentially a completely Republican proposal.
