Politico44 ^ | 12/07/10 | MJ LEE

Giving tax cuts to the rich is Republicans’ “holy grail,” President Obama said Tuesday.

“Let me say that on the Republican side, this is their holy grail, these tax cuts for the wealthy,” Obama told reporters. “It seems to be their central economic doctrine.”

Wow - Pick a fight with the opposition who in about 1 month will own the House and increase numbers in the Senate to fillibuster proof margins.

Smart man that Zero.

The whole point when the GOP compromises is so the other side will say nice things about them.

How did that work out??

If only that were true... the Repubs went along on a stimulus package.. and increased the unemployment insurance for 2 million for over a year. And a bunch of goodies showered on the lower end of the economic spectrum. Are we Sweden yet?

Did he say that as he prepared to board Air Force One to Hawaii to spend 2 weeks at his $25K a week rental house?

Look at the bright side, Barry- you’ll save enough on taxes to buy Moochelle some new earrings. Or maybe a nose ring.

It’s not the government’s job to decide who has too much, and who has too little money. That said, if you live in a big American city, own a house or aspire to, have children and want to educate them, 250K a year does not make you rich.

Ed Morrissy is making the “one termer” point. That the Left is apocolyptic over this deal, his base, and asks how many you know who regret voting for Obama? Plenty. How many voters have been won over by Obama? Zero. This equals one term.

He's doing the Dixie Chick thing -- "Can you believe all the stupid, ignorant redneck jerks out there who like President Bush?? Oh! By the way, our new album just came out -- I hope you buy one!"

Obama now has to work with Republicans, he needs to compromise, he needs to seek bipartisan solutions. And he plans to go about this, by childishly insulting the very people upon whom he is now dependent.

Idiot. Politics is not the right field for this bozo: he doesn't work and play well with others.

There are - the wrong ones. 2% decrease on the payroll tax... for the worker, the the employer. And other nonsense "tax cuts" for the lower classes.

Let the boy king keep up his whining. When the "rich" use their tax cuts to actually hire people and grow the economy, he will be the first to take credit for that as well.

Unfortunately, given what he has done with goosing the national debt and locking up our energy resources, I don't think we are going to see much visibility from tax cuts in the normal 18 months or so it usually takes. Plus, this really isn't a tax cut-- it is a deferral of a tax increase.

Already he's playing the Blame Game, assuming the media carries every pail of water up that loooong hill.

If they don't, he's even more burnt toast than he (and the Dem Party) already is. This is why the DC Dems are revolting.

What tax cuts? Did someone get a tax cut?

I thought I heard many employers won’t have to suffer a huge tax increase next month. But there are no tax cuts.

Obama-butt, you’re right.

Our grail is indeed holy.

Your grail is full of holes.

And it stinks, too.

Stinks of Bull Obama.
