Thanks for the gift..I'm honored! Although I "did" click on the referenced URL, I watched the forum twice last night. I try to be a positive soul, but this administration has turned into a Progressive fiasco! Aways helps when Jane is a guest on any of the ''talking heads" programs. Thanks to all of those at the Lake.

It does seem as if he's been convinced that lower top tax rates are "pro growth" doesn't it?

Shoot, Destor; not so much, I guess. Gibbs says even trades shouldn't be spoken about in conjunction with 'temporary extensions'....

Even when you know it's coming (Axelrod delivered it a couple weeks ago, I think) and the public hates the notion, it's hard to have it confirmed so boldly. Feh!

It seems even the politics of it son't really matter. What does? Is it really economic ideology on the President's part?

You know this is funnier

You know this is funnier today; for me anyway.

THE REPUBS ARE RAISING YOUR TAXES. Love it.

We need a new PR machine in the WH & the Senate.

IN HOW MANY WAYS CAN WE BEG OBAMA TO GET SOME BALLS, SJ? For the first time in years, I didn't bother to vote in November. Yes, Obama got dealt a lousy initial hand, but this guy makes me wonder how he ever became a state senator!

With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.” Mark Victor Hansen

Obama is leaving it all to Reid it seems, as usual, no leadership, I honestly think Obama should withdraw from running for a second term and open it up to a real Democrat who knows how to deal with the GOP.

In reply to Horse trading unemployment

Yeah:

"While Republicans are unified in calling for an extension of all the Bush-era tax cuts, Democrats are split, with a faction led by New York Sen. Charles Schumer calling for the threshold for extension to be raised to $1 million in household income.

The White House has signaled that it is open to compromise on the issue, and a temporary (one to three-year) extension of all of the cuts appears likely, perhaps in exchange for an extension of unemployment benefits or a vote on START."

And Eric Cantor came out of the 'summit' saying that Obama had admitted he hadn't reached out to them enough these first two years'.

Obama is turning over negotiations to Timmeh Geithner and the OMB.

Note, too: "a vote on START"; not a vote FOR START. Sheesh.

Yeah I did and I almost threw up.

These hypocritical pricks think they own the next two years as a majority in the Senate and THEY DO NOT!!

No, we need $300 billion in

In reply to If Obama was to choose to let

No, we need $300 billion in stealth equipped F-22 Raptors AND $100 billion in new nuclear missile equipped 'boomers' (Navy lingo for ICBM subs) to prevent al Qaeda in Karachi from hitting us again.

9/11 changed everything but the weapons systems, the contractors, the political patronage/$$ and the usual scary talk about 'threats' to our national security.
