If the economy improves in the next two years, Obama will be relected, no matter what the Republican'ts claim. But that's one hell of a big IF, super big IF, an implausible IF. I wouldn't hold my breath on it... good god I can only hope that the Republican's put forth a quasi decent candidate for PResident, because as it stands now, I expect we'll be getting a GOP PResident in 2013, sigh...

Republican Hostage Taxcuts! If we are going to end up with this tax deal, lets give it a name the people will not forget. In our 2 or 3 word culture lets always refer to this as the "Republican Hostage Taxcuts" instead of the "Obama Taxcuts". Lefty's need to learn how to use the 2 and 3 word culture to our benefit.
President Obama is not a Democrat. The DLC is not Democratic. President Obama is a “Ben Nelson Democrat.” The President does not in broad or even narrow principle agree with the American people UNLESS you consider “people” to include only entities incorporated to mitigate liability.
Thom the Capitulator?
In two years if the economy improves, the Republicans will say, "See tax cuts for the wealthy work." It will never be a victory for Obama and he will be defeated in 2012. How is it that the Republican bent to the will of a minority of Tea Baggers. It is time to hold fast and make the Democrats do the right thing.
None of those things you just mentioned will never happen, because Obama is weak. Sorry, Thom.you and Obama have lost me.
Behind their back. ----------------------
My big beef with this tax cut deal is that President Obama clearly went behind the backs of Democrats and agreed to something without their approval or input, sticking us with an AWFUL deal that we now have no choice but to accept.
The big question no one is asking is WHY did he feel the need to circumvent Democrats with three weeks of control left in the House?

PROGRESSIVES HAVE NO WHERE TO GO!!!
Finally, this whole thing is tragically wrong because it is yet another major swing of the wrecking ball in the multi-decade effort to destroy the American welfare state. The fabulously wealthy just absolutely can't stand it that the rest of us should have some moderately decent quality of life instead of all that money getting crammed into their already overstuffed pockets. That's why these sociopaths have been trying for thirty years to unravel the New Deal and more. That means breaking unions, that means trade deals shipping decent jobs overseas, that means changing the tax structure in their favor, that means deregulation, and that means privatization. And what it also means is killing popular entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare the only way that seems possible: by creating a debt crisis that would give politicians plausible political cover for slashing these otherwise untouchable third-rail (you touch it, you die) benefits. It's bad enough to have Republicans work so hard toward that end. Now, in the age of Clinton and Obama, Democrats are every bit as culpable.Barack Obama is the biggest political wimp to walk the global stage since Neville Chamberlain donned lederhosen and hoisted a beer with the Führer in Munich. Even Chamberlain had an excuse, though. Had the Nazis devoted their full attention to gobbling up Britain, it seemed reasonable at the time to imagine that they could well have succeeded. After all, France would later fall in a mere seven weeks. And, indeed, Chamberlain was canonized at the time for saving his country by means of what looked then like a politically adroit, if highly cynical, deal with the devil.

Lies across America
http://www.opednews.com/articles/The-Assassination-of-Ameri-by-David-Michael-Gree-101211-747.html
The assassination of America
Alfred McCoy’s article, “How America will collapse (by 2025),” discusses four scenarios or situations. Here are the four areas discussed in the article – economic decline, oil shock, military misadventures, and World War III. Personally, I believe that Mr. McCoy has read my comment on my perceptual powers and he was able to expand upon my words.
Perceptual Powers
I have from time to time shared with you the fact that Divine Providence has given me perceptual powers around my mid-twenties. I have often wondered why me? It became clear to me after I had my massive heart attack and I beat the odds. I have mentioned to my doctors that I would like to live as long as I could so information can be gathered on me and my beating the odds. Maybe this information will be of help for other heart attack patients. My heart attack experience may be of benefit to my brothers and sisters in the world. In retirement God has also opened my eyes to my duty of sharing information on America’s future through His giving me the perceptual powers that I have.
I do not know how much time I have left and so I will share some additional information. The United States of Mortal Sin will start a nuclear holocaust by 2025. We have by that date at least 1,000 military bases around the world. Both China and Russia will be destroyed and from the air these countries will look like sink holes but they will be able to launch some nuclear weapons. The defeat of both China and Russia will bring rejoicing in the streets. Our nation will be destroyed by the westerly winds from China and Russia. The nuclear radiation caught in the wind will eventually reach our American soil. The effects of nuclear radiation will take hold in America starting in 2045.
America’s future is ongoing damnation. We will always be number one as a military power with our nuclear weaponry but morally the United States of Mortal Sin is decaying and rotting in the abyss of a natural hell. We are no longer at the edge of hell or sliding into hell. We are currently wallowing in hell.
Pride and fear will lead our sinful nation toward a nuclear holocaust through the Bush Doctrine of preemptive wars. The United States of Mortal Sin will never accept number two in any category and so a nuclear holocaust will commence through America’s pride and fear. We will win the nuclear holocaust war and there will be rejoicing in the streets but in time the winds filled with deadly radiation will reach our shores and Americans will slowly die. As Americans lay dying in the street, a dump truck will scoop up the corpses and dump these corpses in a communal grave. As the American population slowly dies, there will be no dump trucks to scoop up the bodies. The communal graves will be the streets of our nation where ants, flies, and rats will feast on American corpses. By 2065 all Americans will be dead from radiation poisoning.
These are my perceptions of America’s future.
Hail Mary
Let me start by saying when Jesus was dying on the Cross, He said, “Father, please forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.” Today, Satan’s disciples in the United States of Mortal Sin do know exactly what they are doing and so it is for God to make the decision to forgive. Only God is in a position to know what is in the person’s heart. Personally, I will have a difficult time forgiving any one who is killing God’s children.
My comment is mainly on the Hail Mary prayer. I will start by giving you a brief history of the prayer. HAIL MARY FULL OF GRACE, THE LORD IS WITH THEE. These words were first given to us in the Second Century. BLESSED ART THOU AMONG WOMEN AND BLESSED IS THE FRUIT OF THY WOMB, JESUS. These words were introduced to us in the Seventh Century. HOLY MARY, MOTHER OF GOD PRAY FOR US SINNERS NOW AND AT THE HOUR OF OUR DEATH. AMEN. These words completed the Hail Mary prayer in the Fifteen Century.
On December 8 Catholics celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. This feast day is for the United States. It is considered a holy day. Mary was born without Original Sin. Her womb had to be perfectly pure for the Son of God. Mary lived a life full of grace and so she is without sin.
You and I are born with Original Sin. It is through baptism that this sin is removed.
I want to discuss the phrase, FULL OF GRACE. Even though we are sinners, we can be without sin. The way to be without sin is to be full of grace. Here is how we can be full of grace. When we participate in Sacramental Moments or the doing of good deeds, we become full of grace and we are unable to sin. When we do our best at work, this behavior is a Sacramental Moment and full of grace. Stay at home fathers who are called Mr. Moms because their wife is the bread winner can be participating in Sacramental Moments and be full of grace. Retired persons who have more time for Sacramental Moments can be full of grace and not sinning. Sacramental Moments or good deeds place us in a state of grace and we are without sin.
Great information!!!

Jesse Ventura and the Gulf Oil Spill
Our government wants to kill off the American people. It began with Katrina and New Orleans. Depopulation of parts of the Gulf area is underway. The area will be open for Corporate America. The gulf oil spill was planned shortly after Katrina. Halliburton was part of the oil spillage. Crisis capitalism means big money and it is rampant in the United States of Mortal Sin. Money is the god in conspiracy theories. You can make more money in cleaning up the oil than in pumping the oil. Lobbyists are part of the problem. Dick Cheney’s fingerprints are part of the oil spillage. Halliburton can kill people and they can get away with murder. The police and the military were working with BP. The depopulation of America is going well. Project for a New American Century is on course in the killing of Americans. Chemical weapons are being used to kill Americans. Poison is being used in the clean-up. Corporate America and BP are giving us the middle finger. W. and Obama are the modern day Manchurian candidates. Obama is considered a CIA asset and he has been groomed since the 1980s to be president. Katrina, New Orleans, and the oil sill are connected to kill off Americans. BP is running the American Energy Department. Famine also awaits Americans from the oil spillage. The Gulfstream warms Northern Europe but the oil spillage is cooling the Gulfstream that heads toward Europe and a mini-ice age is being created. FEMA and our government also aim to depopulate America with many undesirable Americans. It appears similar to Nazi Germany and ethnic cleansing before WW II and during WW II. Famine is also being created in order to kill off large portions of the American population. $40 billion is being used to have the Louisiana population re-locate so our government can build the largest refineries in the world across Louisiana.
Clockwork Orange. Millionaires and billionaires may need the tax cuts for body guards and increased security because the downtrodden are getting pushed to their limits and are increasingly likely to start going nuts and getting revenge. It's not hard to find a mark because the "more-fortunate" ( a term I use in oppostion to their hideous term "The less-fortunate") love to wear wealth accumulation as a fat badge of honor. So watch out, richies, you are making yourself targets. In Miami guys will cut your finger off for a diamond ring. They will slit your throat in the parking lot of Town Fashion Mall in broad daylight and take your Lincoln. You are never safe on a dark street, and if you get lost in the wrong neighborhood in Miami, you will be hamburger.
I stand in line in the Check Cashing store with real people who don't have cars or homes or anything that could use bio-diesel fuel. These folks could care less about what goes on in DC because they are fighting daily to keep themselves and their kids and their elders alive. Believe me, being poor costs more to live! No special financing for qualified buyers, no approved credit, no securities, just penalties, late fees, sky-high interest on loans for necessities, - countless surcharges for being poor.
All this caucusing to them is nothing but fiddle-dee-dee and fol-de-rol. Food on the table and the lights and water turned on are real issues. Gas in a car that runs is an issue. Affording a bus pass is an issue. Affording a halfway house is an issue.
Millions of people don't know what estate tax is or what it means, and they have no way of relating it to their own dire circumstances. In their state, it doesn't matter who the president is or what party rules, just that things have gotten worse, life is harder and more fraught with difficulties, and it appears not many people who could do something about it give a hoot.
When good men do nothing, evil men prosper.
As a woman, I've decided there just simply aren't enough good men anymore, and the women who have decided to get out and fight in the man's arena, sidle up to men who prosper.
My name is Tony I really love that Tom Hartman does his homework and research. I called Pelosi, Defazzio,and Sanders office to thank them for refusing Obama's tax deal. I left a message for him saying,"Just because a person is in a position of authority doesnt make them always right." ( That includes presidents) If a person cant stand up to one thing they will fall for anything. I said united we stand divided we fall. Theres a website that I signed a petition for its called www.protestobama.org. Bernie Sanders is a true American hero and he has the guts to stand up for the American people. I just wished that Obama that I voted for and volunteered on the phone banks would develop a backbone. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
FYI to all Repubs SOCIAL SECURITY IS NOT A HAND OUT !! WORKING FOLKS PAY INTO IT I PAID DOUBLE FOR 30 YRS . TARP - WALL ST- AIG - GOLDMAN SACHS- BANK OF AMERICA NOW THAT WAS A MASSIVE HAND OUT...CORP WELFARE GOP LOVED THAT ONE ! THEY ALSO LOVE TOP 2 % AND TREAT OTHER 98 % AKA SMALL PEOPLE LIKE DIRTY DOGS.

If we want a better world, we must open our hearts to love, mercy, and forgiveness. We must practice the Golden Rule and live our daily lives by performing Sacramental Moments (good deeds).
A recycled prediction!!!
A Dire Prediction
I do not know how much time I have left and so I am making this prediction with a heavy heart. The United States of Satan’s Disciples will start a nuclear holocaust by 2020 or 2025. We have at least 1,000 military bases around the world. China and Russia will be destroyed and from the air these countries will look like sink holes. China and Russia will launch some nuclear weapons but not enough to defeat the United States of Hell. The murderous Americans will be rejoicing in the streets. Our nation will be destroyed by the westerly winds from China and Russia. The nuclear radiation caught in the wind will eventually reach its destination on American soil. The effects of the nuclear radiation will take hold in America starting in 2045 and by 2065 the American nation with her empire will be destroyed. American corpses will be seen for miles upon miles. Rotted bodies will be left on the streets for ants, flies, and rats to feast on American corpses.

Larry Summers, head of the White House National Economic Council (NEC), issued the warning, saying:
"Failure to pass this bill in the next couple of weeks would materially increase the risk that the economy would stall out and we would have a double-dip recession."
