Wonkbook: Budget bill handicaps both FinReg and health reform; Census favors GOP states
Here’s the problem with funding 2011′s government using 2010′s budget: When the 2010 budget passed, neither financial regulation nor health-care reform had passed.

Tax Dealing: From Both Sides Now
Howard Gleckman presents the numbers in two ways: If you assume the Bush-era tax cuts were going to be extended anyway (what wonks like to call the current policy baseline), this deal is a sweet tax cut across the board.

Carville on Obama: If Hillary gave him one of her balls, they’d both have two
Nuance. To cleanse the palate, blue-on-blue fun from this morning’s Christian Science Monitor breakfast. He’s used this line before, but I’m surprised he didn’t adapt it for Madam Speaker in honor of her big win yesterday.

Both In The US And In India, They See The Real Obama
Mort Zuckerman writes that after 2 years, Americans got past the window-dressing and now see Obama for what he is: He came across as a young man in a grown-up’s game—impressive but not presidential.
