It is, of course, impossible to know if there was any room to get any more. Given the length of the negotiations I think it's a pretty fair guess

that they tried for more. In the end I think the criticism is largely consistent with the republicans views on dealing with Obama. Compromise is a dirty word. If you don't get every single thing you want then you just don't make a deal. But of course any actual deal is going to involve some compromise. And you're also not dealing with Obama but a different government with different goals and beliefs, in a very unstable part of the world. I don't love every element of the deal, but I feel a hell of a lot better with it than without it.
