One would think Chicken Little has assumed leadership of the FReepers...

They could have fought that anyway. The GOP should have forced Democrats to vote to raise taxes on the wealthy americans. Now if in 2 years we don't see a dramatic turn around in the economy Obama can campaign on rasing taxes on the rich. We know there will still be a deficit issue in 2 years.

The problem here is that there are too many FReepers that don’t bother to read any more than the headline. They just jump on the bandwagon assuming what someone else wrote is gospel.

PEOPLE, GET A GRIP.

WE WON THE HOUSE IN NOVEMBER BUT DO NOT TAKE OUR SEATS UNTIL JAN 2011.

WE HAVE NO VOTES TO PASS ANYTHING THE DEMS DON’T AGREE WITH.

THE BUSH TAX CUTS WERE SET TO EXPIRE AT THE END OF 2010.

GETTING THEM EXTENDED IS A BONUS.

IF THAT MEANS EXTENDING THE UEI THEN SO BE IT.

THE DEMS COULD HAVE EXTENDED BENEFITS AND LET THE TAX CUTS EXPIRE AND THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTHING...NOTHING WE COULD HAVE DONE ABOUT IT.

THIS IS A LOSS FOR OBAMA, NOT US.
