Did Republicans Secretly Blackmail Obama About Eligibility To Extend Tax Cuts?

Posted on 12/08/2010 6:45:53 PM PST by Retired Intelligence Officer

Did the republicans secretly threaten Obama they would raise the eligibility question with him in order to get the Bush tax cuts extended? The president automatically did a about face to his democratic constituents and to the voters who looked up to him to 'Stick It To The Rich' so he could 'Spread The Wealth' as he said he would do on the campaign trail. There is a reason more sinister I feel on why he did this that has the democratic elite in D.C. up in arms. I personally think that the republicans (since they take over the house Jan 4th) pulled him in that meeting and gave him a ultimatum. I believe that they told him that they would go after him and expose his natural born citizen eligibility problem to the American masses and make him step down if he didn't comply and extend the tax cuts. It is a scenario that makes sense and it is something to really think about.

I hope so. The GOP better do anything and everything to stop The Dream Act or it is over.

I doubt it. Unless he’s going to become totally leashed, why flash the nuclear option of eligibility over the first issue to come up?

If they did then they are slimeballs. If they have the goods on bambi they should run him out on a rail with it, not use it to negotiate.

But, I doubt seriously this story is true.

If so, then why did they accept any compromise, i.e., the extended unemployment benefits and the increase in “death tax”?

If it were true, why stop with the Tax Cuts? Use the Eligibility Investigation to invalidate EVERY Executive Order, EVERY Appointment (including the Supreme Court), EVERY piece of Legislation he signed, etc., etc.

There is no way that this story has legs.....

How did a trillion dollar spending bill become a win for the GOP?

TAXED ENOUGH ALREADY. CUT SPENDING. PROMOTE JOB GROWTH.

Did we accomplish ANY of these?

If Republicans had anything they could prove regarding Zer0’s eligibility they would play it. They don’t.

It doesn’t matter whether or not Obama is eligible, a communist or whaterve. If he were, the media would never report it.

I think Obama is pulling one on us.

If Democrats refuse to act on cancelling the scheduled tax increases, then nothing is done to cancel the tax increases -— TAXES GO UP ON JANUARY 1 and Obama gets what he really wants.

I’m calling this The Obama Gambit.

Maybe they will when they officially take over on Jan 4th when they can be in a position to have investigative committees.
