In all the debates over keeping the top run of Bush tax cuts, one pertinent fact kept getting dropped:

The rich received the same tax cuts up to $250K or $1 million.

The proposal was simply to rescind the tax breaks for income over that amount.

But that wasn't enough, apparently - we can freeze federal employee pay because as fearless leader says:

Obama took office in the midst of an economic crisis. I leave it to others to explain how in two years he might have impacted the high unemployment numbers and poor economy enough to stave off reversal in the midterm election. The fact is he is now facing a recalcitrant HR which will be levered by the Tea Party who want to see the economy fail. Chaos and high unemployment are fertile fields for the Tea Party. It is the purpose of the Tea Party to prevent stimulus and to enact contractionary policies where possible.

"This country was founded on compromise. I couldn't go through the front door of this country's founding. And you know if we were really thinking about ideal positions, we wouldn't have a Union.

We’ve been discussing the President a lot lately, making attempts to define him as to style, political ideology, and his place along a liberal-conservative continuum.  We’ve taken various positions partially based on issues we care about and have watched closely since the campaign; we argue about what he supported, what we ‘imagined he supported’.  This is Obama on NATFA  and his opposition to the South Korean Free Trade Agreement on 11/13/07:

There are several things Murdoch is good at: making boatloads of money, influencing politics beneficial to his financial empire, and influencing thought and beliefs and artificial facts and directing them into less-than-diligent thinkers’ minds through various media.  In other words, Murdoch has an agenda, and he’s highly successful at fulfilling it.

Well, if they do, I just can't see any reason to support them any more.  2 years?  Who do they think they're kidding?  

The Bush cuts were designed to expire this year because they were unsupportable beyond this year (actually they were always unsupportable).

Two years?  Three years?  If that goes down we are "governed" by Democratic cowards and Republican thieves.  

Let them all expire, and let the Republicans take the responsibility!  If Democrats don't let that happen then they are passively accepting the Republicans' goals.

NO!  NO!  NO!
