Quote of the Day: Ezra Klein
Obama wasn't lying when he talked about the many Republican-friendly tax cuts included in the stimulus, the many conservative ideas that formed the core of the health-care law and the trillions in GOP-demanded spending cuts that were added to his budget proposals. But McConnell wasn't lying when he said that Republicans cared more for defeating the president than for anything else -- and that "anything else" includes passing policy initiatives they had long supported.
