As a compromise, Obama and the Democratic majority caved and agreed to build a house with two walls, a floor and a roof made of cheesecloth. No one was happy with this, but something had to be done. Conservatives claim the mostly ineffectual house is a failure of the idea of housing. Progressives claim is was a failure to build the house as required.
I agree.. it's a stupid analogy.
