Oh to be a fly on the wall at DU!
Nice summary. Zero blinked!
Must be real anxious to get to Hawaii on his fabulous fun packed vacation on our dime.
Just saw it is delayed until 7PM.
(He is adding the tax cut of the already broke social security plan to save us all.) $800 for a 40K a year worker
So Axelrod is typing the load of crap into the teleprompter.
If reporters ask questions it will be to ask him how his lip is doing and where he will vacation next.
I can live with that—though I don’t like the amount of time left for other mischief in the lame duck session. I don’t think the Dems would have come to terms like this so quickly if they didn’t think they could slip START, at least—but please let’s hope not the DREAM Act too—in before the new Congress.
Gee, I wonder what Obama has against Chelsea Clinton and Amee Carter.
That estate tax is sooooo wrong. It belongs to the heirs...not the government....just like SS belongs to the heirs...not the government.
This doesn’t extend UI past 99 weeks does it?
I asked this in another thread and am still not sure of the answer. I can see maybe doing a UI extension past 26 weeks, but no way in hell should this be extended out past 99 weeks. It is bad enough UI has become a near 2 year welfare program, any longer and we are literally encouraging people to just stay home and play video games forever.
Or they'd better be. This'll turn more than a few liberal democrat faces purple.
I don’t see how this is a win for our side. Thirteen more months of UI, definitely not cutting any spending. This govt. is out of control.
I am in permanent ::Facepalm:: mode with this speech.
Listen to him make this just as politcally poison as he can make it.
Oh, what a peacemaker.
He’s unwilling to engage in.....
“Political warfare here in Washington.”
ROTFLOL.
Too late, Marxist.
I’ll give him this, he has nerve. He lies with ease.
“Make no mistake...”
“Let me be clear...”
Bipartisan agreement reached.
Ah. The class warfare continues. The Republicans are the bad guys and he’s saving the day for the middle class. WHAT A POS he is. Republicans better learn from this.
UE extended another 13 months (?).
Did he say months and mean weeks?
So this idiot is finally admitting that tax cuts help the economy and tax increasess hurt. And he made the discovery two weeks before expiration.
And is he guaranteeing that the Rats will vote for this thing?
