Dem Lawmaker says, "Fuck the President!" on the House floor.

Uh-Oh. Now it's getting ugly.....

that is what happens when you are a pussy who refuses to fight for what you know is right, you alienate your base and your own party, you criticize those on "the professional left" that worked to get you elected, and you sell out the american people whom you promised to help. there is only so much that his supporters will accept, and now he is in a world of trouble.

he accepted this "compromise" with no fight at all, and he conceded way too much to the republicans. as a result, his own party is extremely angry at him.

he let this blow up in his face by his own doing.

i still say he should have a "come to jesus"moment, pull an LBJ, and say he is not running again.

I agree with you.

1. He sold out the American people
2. He let it blow up in his own face- his doing
3. He is in a world of trouble
4. He is a pussy
5. I hope he doesn't run in 2012 also.

Well said, Gimme.

I'd like to see anyone appointed to POTUS and not completely lose sense of self.

I bet it's not possible.

And I really want to know what Republicans are blackmailing him with.

BinauralJam

dammit, i knew i misspelled sensible. treid with and e and then an a, nothing looked right.

I really do wonder if after your elected , they sit you down and tell you ALL of the shit they've been keeping from the public, fill you head with so much Info, that what ever goals you had coming in are forgotten and you just end up doing what they want you to do.

BLACK-mailing?

That's racist!!

I type the words Im not sure about into a Word doc- then I use spellcheck before i type in a post so people think I'm really that smart!!

And while they fight about not giving the rich the Bush era tax break we will get stuck paying more in taxes. The Republicans have said they will not sign on for the tax break for the rest of Americans if the rich get taxed more. It's the top 1% they are protecting.

I think I said earlier on in this obama thing that I had a gut feeling about him but granted I wasn't sure of what but I did say he was softer than a sneaker full of shit.
honestly I would like to see him do what is right for the American people and if he does that I wouldn't mind seeing him in for a 2nd term,we just don't know at this point although it ain't looking too good.

Because the top 2% are the ones who create jobs.

Jobs: nice to have.

Godfather: a 2nd term? Really? Say it ain't so....

we have debated the rich creating jobs here for months. the fact is they have not created jobs with those tax cuts for the last several years. if they had, where are the jobs???? if they had, the unemployment would be less than what it is.

i am not 100% certain on this, but according to a usa today article from a couple of weeks ago, do you know how much a family making $500,000 would have to pay extra a year if the cuts expire?

$700...that is $58.33 a month in extra taxes...

but i am done debating that issue and i am not going to talk about it anymore. i have said my peace in the other threads about that.


the fact is that obama caved again, waaay too easily, and people are not going to stand for it. and it is inexcusable to have the gop protecting the top 2% of earners. they are protecting their base and nothing else, and in the process allowing cuts to expire for the people who really need those cuts. shameful....

and one more thing...I do find it interesting that those who support extending tax cuts for the rich are slamming Obama for supporting it...

damned if he does and damned if he doesn't....I would think you lovers-of-the-wealthy would be supportive...yet you only take shit...

there is no pleasing you guys...

if you look at job growth from 2004 (after the 9/11 debacle in the economy) to right before the housing bubble burst jobs were available and most people who wanted one had one, however when the economy goes in the shitter jobs follow quickly. Rich people do create jobs, but they don't do it over night, businesses need to stay alive so that when things turn around they can hire again. I don't understand the idea that jobs are going to come back by taking more money out of the private sector.

that being said, I am glad obama compromised, it shows he has a level head on his shoulders. You cannot always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need. The dems needed to extend unemployment, the gop needed tax cuts for all...seems fair to me. I really don't understand the outrage.

I guess there is a lot I don't understand

In My Tree:

It wasn't rhetorical. There was a point to be made, and it applies to your job question: The tax cuts were passed in '01 and '03. A small tax cut cannot save an economy that is hindered by an administration that has spent more money in 2 years than the entire US spent from 1789-1980.

The question regarding why a gov't taxes, strikes at the heart of our constitutional rights against overreaching gov't.

If they didn't spend our money faster than crackheads, we wouldn't be sitting here acting like this is there money, and we're lucky if they let us keep any of it. Think about it. They've already spent the money they're debating letting the "rich" people keep. Nancy Pelosi had a $50,000/year alchohol bill as Speaker- and that was just on her free "Air Force Airliner." 50K/year on airplne booze!!!! And then tells you she's for the little guy and you believe her....

Gov't FOR the people.

NOT people for the gov't.

This is the fundamental phiosphical difference b/w Liberalism and Conservatism.
