John Podesta defining the difference between "talking with" and "capitulating to" the Republicans:
But I would not confuse [a dialogue with the Republicans] with an idea that he’s compromising on his big goals of trying to deal with the very difficult economic circumstances we face and deal with the big challenges this country faces on energy, education, health care, and the other things.
Just as we suspected. This isn't Harry Reid capitulation. This is a whole new thing.
