Shown the Back of the Hand?

In "Republican Taliban Declare Jihad on Obama," in The Sunday Times, Andrew Sullivan argues that "the right has promised all out war" against the president. Worth your time.

I'd like to supplement Sullivan's observation that the president, "did his best to accommodate Republican concerns [about the stimulus] - adding deeper and wider tax cuts than his own party was comfortable with." I know of at least one Democrat who voted against the Stimulus in the second round because he objected to the tax cuts.
