Rachel Maddow has some negotiating advice for President Obama after his announcement that he will support the Republican's plan to freeze wages for federal employees -- if you're going to make a concession, get something for it in return.
And from Dave Dayen over at FDL, apparently Organizing for America thinks this is somehow a good idea -- OFA Tries to Get Supporters to Write Letters to the Editor Praising a Federal Worker Pay Freeze. I hate to break it to them but if I send a letter to the editor, it's not going to be one praising this bone headed decision.
MADDOW: Since the start of the Obama administration, Charlie Brown and Lucy with the football has been the go-to metaphor for liberals trying to explain what happens when the White House tries to negotiate with Republicans.
The Republicans, of course, are Lucy, kindly holding the football. And every time Charlie Brown thinks he's got to deal with Lucy or Obama thinks he's got a deal with Congressional Republicans, everybody's going to work together, Lucy is going to hold that football. She's going to hold it steady.
