Mr. Obama is no Jack Kennedy. Mr Obama has no concept of how to play Mr. Kennedy's favorite sport--oneupmanship. Mr. Obama should be standing up for the working Joe's and Josephine's of this country and calling the Republican's bluff. He's never even tried to call their bluff. He always caves in to their demands; so where, exactly is he different from the Republicans?

We don't need a stinking revolution because Satan's disciples are killing our fascist Nazi America by themselves.

The Republicans have indeed set a trap, but it’s the House Democrats, NOT the President, that may let us fall into it. If the changes they want kill the deal, as it sounds likely, I certainly would not support that because:
* Millions of people will be helped by the stimulus that’s in the deal with more stimulus than tax cuts for the rich. And we will see NO stimulus from the Republican controlled House for 2 years.
* Millions of people will be hurt if tax cuts for all are allowed to expire. President Obama and the Democrats ran on the basis of placing middle class tax cuts as the highest priority, regardless of what happens to the taxes of the rich.
* Millions of people will be saved on unemployment benefits, without the Republican House members being able to touch those benefits for a whole year. 13 months is the longest extension we’ve ever done on these benefits because it’s supposed to be pegged to the unemployment rate (above 7.4) an unknown a year from now.
* The highest priority is millions of real human beings and recovering the economy. The deficit can (in fact should) be dealt with later.
* As galling as it is for the few millionaires and billionaires to get these temporary tax cuts, I’m on the side of the many millions of people who will be hurt if we don’t get this deal done
* All the other important agenda items are being stopped until this is tackled – DADT repeal, DREAM, START, none of which will be able to moved once the Republicans take control of the House. That make this also an emergency for national security as well.
There’s no doubt that the Republicans have brought this on the American people, and I believe we can successfully hang this around their necks. As we go into deficit reduction, after the economy has recovered, tax hikes on the wealthy can and should be part of that. And raising taxes on the rich is a fine campaign issue to run on in 2012.
* We don’t have time to go around the country mobilizing people. The people are already with us anyway – the problem is that it is the House and Senate that have to act.

I hope that now the House Democrats have expressed their anger – which I agree with fully – they will settle down to doing the right thing for the majority of American people. Otherwise, the House Democrats will go out of office leaving us with an economic disaster to deal with. And as the economy further collapses in the next year, we won’t even be able to get Democrats back in control in 2012. The Republicans have indeed set a trap, but it’s the House Democrats, not the President, that may let us fall into it.

HELP!

I just called Jane Harman, my congressional rep from California. The person that answered the phone was very interested that Obama's tax cut bill was a republican strategy for the elections of 2012. I told him it was an article in the Washington times by David Fernuso (sp?). The help I need is to let me know if that is the correct source.

Hears the Deal by Vice Pres

Good morning,

Earlier this week, President Obama laid out a framework for a compromise with Congress that ensures that middle-class families don’t get a tax increase, extends unemployment benefits for folks who are looking for work, and gives our economy a shot in the arm.

Like anything in Washington these days, there are a lot of opinions about this flying around. But it's always important to start with the facts. To help you understand exactly what is in this framework Austan Goolsbee, one of the President's chief economic advisors, took some time to break it down:

There are some things in this agreement you'll like and some things in here you might not. There are things in here that the President and I don’t like – like the temporary extension of tax breaks to the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans and a more generous treatment of the estate tax than is warranted.

But what is at stake is the strength of our recovery and much needed relief for middle class families. The bottom line is that if Congress does not act to extend unemployment insurance, 2 million Americans will lose their unemployment insurance this month alone. And if we don’t extend middle class tax cuts, millions of families will see a spike in their tax bill when they can least afford it.

With that in mind, President Obama reached across the aisle to ensure that middle class families get a fair shake. Here are a few important points:

• No tax hike for middle class families. This proposal would prevent a tax increase of over $3,000 for the typical family.
• Money in your pocket through a reduction in the payroll tax. About 155 million workers will see a 2 percent reduction in their payroll taxes and American families can take advantage of the Child Tax Credit, Earned Income Tax Credit, and the American Opportunity Tax Credit.
• Extension of unemployment benefits. Folks who have been looking for work in these tough times won’t lose their lifeline. This is also good news for local economies because unemployment insurance dollars are among the most likely to be spent quickly.

That's the deal, folks, and it's a good one for America's middle class. Take a moment to watch Austan break it down, and I think you'll agree:

Vice President Joe Biden

Isn't Trust the more correct label?

Though in fact such large companies walk in lock step, and though not technically a monopoly, they are in effect just so. Down to the same fees, interest rates, penalties, etc...

Forget tax rates. You think it is time for a revolution? Really? Ok! then think outside the box about what will work. Marching? No. Pick a weapon that will work MONEY!

STEP 1

Demand a change for 100% of all owner occupied home loans to 2%, 30 yr fixed. NO FEES!

We would free up Billions of after tax income every month to pay off our mortgages early or pay down our credit cards and our every day bills. We would instantly stop all foreclosures and short sales, reduce inventory, stabilize the #1 asset in American! We will NOT increase government debt 1 penny! We will strengthen 70% of the economy; create demand which will create jobs!

The banks will not do this voluntarily. The government will NOT TAKE ACTION to make this happen. WE THE PEOPLE need to make this happen!

HOW? Simple, we tell the government (Fannie and Freddie already own 51% of all mortgages) and Wall Street this is what we want and they have until February 1st to get it done. IF Wall Street and the Government fail to meet our demand we will protest by stop paying our mortgages! Let's see how long the banks can hold out without our money. Screw our credit scores we don’t care! I believe in the American people not Wall Street! If we are given the tools we need to recover and grow we will get the economy fixed. We will GET IT DONE!

I can't understand why this proposal doesn't decouple W's cuts from Obama's cuts -- which, by the way, were all scheduled to expire without any intervention on anyone's part. I hope you all read Bill Black's and David Cay Johnston's takes on this ridiculous issue. Why Obama doesn't trot out the morals card is simply beyond me. It's all politics with his team. The way to deal with the Righties is to become like them. Call their bluff. Deal with bullies by confronting bullies. Not with conciliatory caves without a fight. Let the Righties tell their constituents in the South that well, no, we really are going to let your unemployment benefits expire. And sorry, we know we didn't create any jobs with W's tax cuts but that's what we're all about. I'm damn sorry, but tax cuts don't spur job growth. Demand does. So let's have job growth, job growth, job growth now and then let's figure out how to tamp down the deficit. I do understand the politics of having this discussion again in 2 years, but Obama's already HAD 2 years to have this discussion with the Righties. The law says "expire." What's so damn hard about that? The wingnuts will twist any economic growth, job growth, deficit reduction, etc. that occurs on Obama's watch into their version of reality no matter what happens anyway. So why not have the fight now rather than in 2012? I'm not understanding the cave-ins at all.

I'd say the House Dem's have realized that sometimes doing the right thing supersedes what their PResident wants. Good for them.
