Illogical. The point is that the only thing that the republicans will allow to get done are THEIR demands. If the only thing the republicans will let you "get done" are things that are disgraced, debunked, irrational republican policies, then the best thing to do is NOT to agree to those wrong-headed policies.
Confront them and propose your own. But that's not what this feeble President does. To him, confrontation is worse than giving the republicans what they want. He truly believes that there are no right or wrong economic policy answers. He incorrectly feels that if there are people on opposite sides of an issue, then the middle ground is where the correct answer is.
So he respects the republicans and their policies in general. It's the only reasonable explanation for his actions. For example, his embracing the belief that the deficit is more important than economic growth helps prove it. There is NO ECONOMY on this planet that has used austerity or tax cuts to get out of a recession/depression in modern times - none. But he engages in this right wing dishonesty anyway.
And people desperate to believe in unicorns still think he's in their corner.
A Democrat's grand bipartisan agreement to implement bad republican policies is a sellout by any objective measure and reflects poorly on the President's trustworthiness and ability to lead.
