Obama is a wonderful person and a man of the world.
He's already getting nods from independent types, but the Tea Party crowd won't give him any props until he changes his skin color...
Fixed.He's already getting nods from independent types, but the Tea Party crowd won't give him any props until the Koch Brothers say they should.
Really? And there was me thinking he is the biggest lightweight in global politics (a role for which there is plenty of competition).
None of that has anything to do with what I said.
In fact I think that Obama is too good of a man to be an effective politician.
and President Palin will find she same thing out when she's elected.
Hey the GOP is the party of the everyday American, as long as the everyday American family makes more than $1,000,000 a year and does not need unemployment benefits extended because of structural unemployment
^I think the Republicans are trying to lump those in to try to get the tax cuts for the rich continued. Like hostage taking.
I saw this the other night and it just made me love him even more. It was extremely sexy

So looks like the Dems are going to roll over again.
GOP says they will not work on any bill until the tax cuts are extended for EVERYONE. Democrats want the top earners bracket to expire.
Reports are coming out that the tax cuts will be temporary extended for all groups, as well as unemployment. So let's just keep piling on that debt!!!
And of course with the news of this "compromise", Mitch McConnell states the GOP will still not work on any bill.
Sometimes I wish the Democrats would just stand up for something.
GOP will be known as the party who fought to keep taxes low, and the Democrats are going to be known for increasing the debt.
I think Obama is capitulating on tax cuts in an attempt to get the unemployment benefits and missile treaty with Russia through.
It's pretty obvious the current crop of GOP reps won't give into anything (even if it's for the good of their shit-for-brains constituents) until Obams is out of office. Dark times ahead.

The jobless situation seems to be reaching a crisis point. The Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics noted that not only was the unemployment rate at 9.8 percent (15.1 million individuals) for November, but that 6.3 million of those jobless were long-term unemployed (27 weeks or longer). And since statistics indicate that it takes at least 34 weeks for the average jobseeker to return to work, that would be eight weeks without an income if not for the unemployment benefits extensions currently used by Congress -- that expired on November 30. Still, even if Congress reauthorizes the unemployment benefits extensions and emergency extensions (the Tier I-IV categorizations), 4 million more 99ers could join the already over 2 million 99ers who have seen the exhaustion of their regular, extended, and emergency extended benefits and still remain unemployed.
As Shahien Nasiripour reported in the Huffington Post, the President's Council of Economic Advisers concluded in a study that the rising number of 99ers could have a negative impact on the overall economy in the coming year. A staggering number, some 4 million individuals, will lose their unemployment benefits extensions in the coming year -- and many of those will not return to work.
Sometimes I wish the Democrats would just stand up for something.
I'll say this, Bush would have never given in. You gotta admire that if he believed in something, he wouldn't back down.
