Earlier in the semester, Prof. Tobin posted an article from the New York Times suggesting that Obama and the Democrats had made a Faustian bargain. Apparently, that's a comparison that the New York Times has been making for decades, since I found an article describing Clinton's deal with the devil (I'm talking former President, not current Secretary of State).
The article says that the deal Bill made was that we, as a nation, would agree to overlook his infidelities in exchange for his policies. If you're interested, you can read it here.
I'll have to look into whether or not similar comparisons are made about the Republicans.
