Wow. It never ceases to amaze me how Obama's supporters can contort their reasoning to justify any of this actions! Yeah, he was real "forceful" with the republican's on this one, alright!
Its just like how victims in an abusive relationship justify the arrogant and cruel behavior of their oppressors. The presupposition of a disguised benevolence will allow for any and all injustices, because the victim's low self-esteem requires it to seem that it is their own lack of wisdom which is interpreting the events incorrectly at face value.
