.@NancyPelosi Really? Is that how it works? Wow. And then, lemme guess - you whip the vote then vote for real? #ThingsILearnedInCivics

@saramarietweets I wonder if she's going to read the bill - or just 'pass it and then see what's in it'? @NancyPelosi #YouCantFixStupid

@NancyPelosi I hope they give you hell. This deal stinks.

@CorinneAM @NancyPelosi I flatly disagree. This deal does not stink. It's half-decent.

@williambentley2 It's a deal for the sake of making a deal. Nothing more.

@CorinneAM OK, as I understand it, the 'sake' in this case includes about 98.5% of people's federal income taxes not going up, plus UI, etc.

@williambentley2 oh yes, let’s protect incomes up to $450k & index the estate tax to inflation, but not the minimum wage. This deal is weak.

@CorinneAM @williambentley2 The move from 250k to 450k is sauce for the goose. Very good deal 4 Dems. Not sure if House Pubs will accept it.

@Ptolemy_k not a v good deal for Dems. Why protect incomes over $250k? The deal is weak tea.

@CorinneAM Obama can claim victory and willingness to compromise. Politically it's a "very good" deal.

@NancyPelosi a deal for its own sake is not it. Reject and return for more

@Imaumbn You know @NancyPelosi's rules: can't find out what's in it until after you pass it.

@Imaumbn @NancyPelosi "The Botoxian Bill Buffer": I thought that was Monica Lewinsky's Secret Service code name.
