I wonder if Obama or the White House administration is privvy to all these details?

It would make sense if they were.

If Obama really is not involved with the Senate or House talks (like behind closed doors negotiation type of stuff), Then I wonder what would happen next.

Would he be part of a movement to let these CIR bills fail and try to pass his?

Would he just veto this one?

Wow, we can only wait to see...this is going to be a crazy year.
