Obama Compromise

A compromise where you give up your entire position, concede everything to your opponent, give them something extra to ensure there are no hurt feelings and then declare a bipartisan victory.

In 2011, President Obama proposed a budget increase of $44 billion. The Republicans countered with $32 billion in budget cuts. Fortunately, Obama and the Republican leadership were able to reach an Obama compromise to cut spending by $48.5 billion, preventing a government shutdown.
