Wishing the Rs would oppose the President more often?

I was upset to hear that John Boehner was finally conceding that he would support President Obama's Middle Tax Cut Plan last week, as I think this is a dream scenario for the Dems, exposing the R's as beholden primarily to the wealthy ahead of the middle class.

But today he recanted and said he wouldn't vote for any bill that doesn't include tax cuts for the top 2%. Whew.

Now whether the Dems can avoid being equally stupid and can take full advantage of this remains to be seen.
