Not Too Shabby Mr. President, Your Blue Ribbon Panel is for real!

[we vs us]

I love it when everyone starts making sense.  Now we just need to wait and see if our President is willing to embrace the recommendations of the experts he appointed, or dismiss them. 

The timing of the release of these recommendations was remarkable.

They're actually not the actual recommendations of the panel.  They're draft suggestions by Bowles and Simpson only, which is what makes this even more newsworthy.  They're unofficial negotiation points "leaked" directly to reporters by the heads of the panel.  Nothing's been finalized at this point and some of the members of the panel have actually come out strongly against some of the suggestions.
