Obama is a moderate.

Pres. Obama said on Tues.
"I've said before that I felt that the middle-class tax cut's were being held hostage to the high end tax cuts," Mr. Obama said. "I think it's tempting not to negotiate with hostage-taker's, unless the hostage gets harmed. Then people will question the wisdom of that strategy. In this case, the hostage was the American people, and I was not willing to see them get harmed."
That explanation was terrorist enough for me. And I call for Mitch McConnell, John Kyl and John Boehner to all go "jump in the lake."

I swear I've read this exact rant from a Leftie, where "obama" is replaced for "bush" and vice versa, along with "conservative" <=> "liberal" and "right" <=> "left" translations. It'd be really funny if it didn't make me so sad. If you get to the point where you think the opposition is cattle, there's little hope of reconcile.

nice song and dance. now I challenge you to disprove what I said.

And that's assuming one wants to reconcile. Personally, I don't want to "reach across the aisle" or "work towards bipartisanship". I want a true conservative government.

I have absolutely no use for liberals or liberalism.

But that's just me.

IT'S NOT A TAX CUT
When you keep things at the same rate they are currently at, that's not a cut!!!!!!!!!!!

How about "The tax not-raising"

H.

Absolutely gentlemen. We (taxpayers) aren't saving anything; we're just getting a reprieve from having to pay more.

Damn Carl, I like you more every day.

I am reading in various places that businesses are getting clobbered with huge increases in unemployment insurance premiums.

My mom always paid like $1 for Unemployment Insurance. This last time around she paid $900.

I hope the Estate Tax goes away and never, ever, ever comes back. Almost nothing infuriates me more than the Estate Tax, and I'm 99% sure I'll never even have to worry about it. MOTHER FUCKERS! That is all.

"The easiest way to create jobs, and keep jobs, is to make sure the unemployed continue to have money to spend"

I'm pretty sure that is the polar opposite of everything I've ever learned about economics and basic personal finance.

My opinion on this is that Obama backed the extension of the "Bush-era tax cuts" to everyone after working a quid pro quo deal with the Repub's where the Repub's had to support a pet of Obama's - perhaps the DREAM Act?
