You heard it here first.
Why am I predicting this? Well, to start off with, it’s not like getting it wrong is going to embarrass me or anything – I’m just this guy on the Internet, remember – so why not? Anyway, I’m figuring that the revision is going to happen, based on two factors.

(Via Instapundit) I am not exaggerating. We are dealing with the real world now, and in the real world you do not cavalierly and abruptly disrupt groups providing vitally critical medical assistance without ill result: Continue reading Someone in Obama’s name sentenced AIDS victims to die.
But, hey, remember: “I won.”
Or, as Heritage put it, “The Pelosi-Reid-Obama Debt Plan”. Anyway, Politico reports:
President Barack Obama is coming to the Capitol this afternoon to curry favor with congressional Republicans. But it appears GOP leaders have already made up their minds to oppose his $825 billion stimulus plan.
House Republican Leader John A. Boehner and his No. 2, Whip Eric Cantor, told their rank-and-file members Tuesday morning during a closed-door meeting to oppose the bill when it comes to the floor Wednesday, according to an aide familiar with the discussion. Boehner told members that he’s voting against the stimulus, and Cantor told the assembled Republicans that there wasn’t any reason for them to support the measure, according to another person in the room. Cantor and his whip team are going to urge GOP members to oppose it.
In a nod to the president, Boehner did point out that this is the third time that Obama has met with Republican leaders, compared with the zero meetings they’ve held with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — a now-familiar refrain from Republicans in the House. But Obama’s diplomacy clearly isn’t buying any votes yet.

None other than Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton who — on his third day in the White House — was still having a little trouble working the door.
Trying to get into the briefing room from the outside, Burton inadvertently short circuited the electronic door opener, causing small plumes of smoke to fill into the inside of the briefing room.

Indeed, you did.
No argument from me: you won.
In fact, let the record show that your official response to the GOP’s offer of assistance and advisement was “I won.”
So, it’s all yours. Your responsibility, your obligation, your reputation on the line. Not ours: yours.
Because, after all, you won.
