Yeah, worked out really well when he caved this spring so we could force the debate during the current elections so he can cave again to push it off to next year's elections.

Totally not kicking the can down the road.

    In fact, I'd argue that perpetually kicking a hugely popular Democratic issue to the next election cycle says he specifically doesn't want it solved, so that it can keep the same campaign literature.
