Paul Krugman really really hates the deal
Mother Jones also doesn’t like the deal
The deal shows how the whole system is screwed
The deal shows how Obama has moved to the right
The deal really really shows how Obama has moved to the right
That’s not true, Obama just had no choice here
Ezra Klein

My conclusion:
