He caved.





That is all:)

[Undecided]

He had no choice.  And it was the right thing to do at this point, although he tried as hard as he could to avoid doing it.  But he had no choice.

Impeach Boehner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Of course he had a choice. He could have told Reid to shove his plan up his ass. That is exactly what he should have done.

I'm assuming this is simply a two-month extension on the payroll taxes?

Pffft.  Obama won't even be back from vacation by then.

Yes. It is a meaningless stunt intended to win votes from a bunch of idiots who actually think they are gaining something from this.

Pffft.  Obama won't even be back from vacation by then.   

I would be quite content if he never returned.

And then all of middle class America would see their taxes rise, ironically, because of the Taxed Enough Already Republicans, going into the election season.

That is exactly what he should have done.

Typical Leftist distortion of the truth.

The Republicans wanted a long term extension of the act, not a ridiculous two month extension. It was the Democrats who prevented that.

Try being honest for a change and place the blame where it belongs.

Do Liberals have some uncontrollable compulsion to lie about everything, or do you actually stop and consider what you are about to say before you lie?

[makesenseplease]

Okay.  Now that republicans are in agreem,ent, ket's see what becomes of this.

Isn't it a relative thing?  The tax reduction was only a year old, and rescinding it would simply put the rates back like they were.

I get tired of this "middle class" bullshit. If the middle class benefits from the government programs then they need to help pay the costs of those handouts.
To me the term implies that they are getting the shaft while the upper class gets the breaks.  Look at the spending side of it. Who gets the breaks, it ain't the upper class.

In fact, upper class wage earners are charged a premium for their Medicare premiums, quite a bit more than a middle or lower class person pays.  Does it cost more to treat a wealthy person for his ailments than it does to treat a mddle class person with the same ailments?

Some of you so called middle class clowns need to wise up.  The liberal media has turned you against the upper class and has made a class war out of this thing.  When is the last time a rich man got into your pockets with the force of law justifying it?  This is pure assed communism in the making and you dopes are eating it up.  It ain't the upper class that is eating your lunches. It is the ones on the lower end, and that brings up another point. The range of middle class is very broad, and yet the socialists want to claim that people making 50k a year  are impoverished.  That is bullshit intended for a bunch of hysterical slobs that have forgotten how to think for themselves.

I don't get this.  How in the Holy Shit can the Republicans get themselves to be The Bad Guys when they wanted a 12 month extension on the tax cut and the Democrats only wanted a two month extension?

In this case, Obama is right.

"This isn't a typical Democrat versus Republican issue. This is an issue where an overwhelming number of people in both parties agree," the president said. "How can we not get that done? Has this place become so dysfunctional that even when people agree to things, we can't do it? It doesn't make any sense."

Who the Hell "won" anything in this deal?  No one.

Hopefully the Pubs got that fast track committment on deciding about the Keystone pipeline.  I have no presonal or special interest in the pipeline, but the first one comes across this area about 5 miles east of here and I haven't heard a thing negative about it.  The people did a nice job of saving the topsoil and replacing it over the excavated area.  They planted the pasture areas to grass last summer and it has already come back very well. Pasture is important for the cattle in this area and is a relatively inexpensive and labor free form of nutrition for the stock cattle, which are the meat animals.  Dairy cows also benefit from the grass if they are left to roam on it.

I think the primary objection to the Keystone line is that it may pass over underground water aquifers, which is a valid consideration.  However it can be rerouted to minimize the risk of ground water contamination if the line should leak.  Some say the oil would benefit foreign customers and not us, but so what. If it makes jobs for thousands of jobs for Americans then it is a plus.

I think that what pisses off the losers in the slums is that they don't have the skills or the gumption to do pipeline work.  It is hard and it is dangerous, but it pays well.  What we need for the Chicago losers is more Brasso so they can polish the door knobs at city hall.

This to me is the difference between the Republican way of stimulating the economy and creating jobs, meaningful productive jobs  that actually produce economic value rather than sucking it up like a bunch of leeches laying on their asses with pointless government jobs that are simply political plums.

The liberals need to plant more money trees so we don't have to borrow from communist countries in order to finance their senseless and irresponsibile largesse.

Valid indeed.  Of course no one seems to care that there is currently 55,000 miles of pipeline already existing in the United States.

Many people are familiar with the Trans Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS). It is the most photographed pipeline as it, unlike most pipelines, has significant portions of the system above ground. Crude oil is produced in Alaska, moves south on TAPS and then moves by tank ship to the West Coast. From the tank ship, the crude again moves by pipeline to refineries along the west coast of the U.S.

The network of crude oil pipelines in the U.S. is extensive. There are approximately 55,000 miles of crude oil trunk lines (usually 8 - 24 inches in diameter) in the U.S. that connect regional markets. The map below shows some of the major crude oil trunk lines in the U.S.

So, what's the big deal with 2,000 more miles and the tens of thousands of jobs and revenue it would generate?  Who the fuck knows?
