1. Thanks for posting that, and the link.

You can also watch it live on whitehouse.gov, as you can all of the President's speeches.

2. Kick. I can't think of a good excuse not to watch.

For me, that is. Others may have good ones.

8. It seems that the (R)s have chosen the hill they want to die on

and closing loopholes in the tax code is that hill.


This could take more than a couple of months.

10. I expect this to go faster for one simple reason...

Business is already screaming.

12. I hope you are right

9. Reporter really insisting it is the President's fault

For not caving to Republicans.

Funny because on DU I've heard he was willing to do way too much.

11. What a friggin' moron!

Why is such a reporter allowed at that level?

I hope she was a plant, or her question was.

Jedi Mind Meld!

14. This is "austerity", it is entirely about the banks and the rich stealing from us, then stealing

from us AGAIN, laughing all the way. Obama is on their side, wtf:

15. Interesting.. I don't know much about the sequester or how it started...

Does anyone know where I can find out how it was passed and who suggested what?

I can't find that great of info on my phone.

Thanks in advance for the help!
