Obama: "But the important thing, when you look at the Senate and the House bill, is not the huge differences; it's actually the remarkable similarities. Ninety-five percent of the House bill and the Senate bill are in accord. And there are going to be some tough negotiations around the 5 percent."


95% in accord sounds good. But all the devils can be in the 5% details. In an extreme case it could involve decisions as momentous as whether or not to bomb Iran.
