That's the plan concocted by the people who want to subvert Obama's compromise and now talk about a 2012 Democratic challenge to Obama.

Without the compromise, unemployment benefits will be cut for millions. Those are the hostages Obama is saving.

With a Democratic challenge to Obama in 2012, say hello to President Romney and VP Palin. That would be suicide for the Democratic Party.

Moral of the story: Don't kill the hostages, and don't commit suicide.
