2. Obama stood up for the two million people and their families about to lose all income sources

in the middle of winter.

Obama stood up for working class tax credits that had no chance in the filibuster Senate.

Obama stood up for working people at the expense of his own esteem.

It took courage and maturity.

He did a good job in a tough situation.

6. That's a gamble you were making with 2 million people's lives

You say tra la la. I found the whole assumption that GOPers would have passed the extnsions "anyway" to be a complete fantasy: they had already killed it. On what basis do you say they would have voted for it anyway? I'll tell you: no basis. It is a gamble, and a damned risky one at that, and I'm glad our President didn't roll the dice irresponsibly with the lives of 2 million working people and their families.

4. What about the other 4 million? The 99ers? Shouldn't the deal have included them? nt

5. I'm angry at the stupid Americans who voted for the sleaziest of the sleazy,

angry at a Congress, WH, and SC that allows electronic voting to continue, angry at the blatant corruption, angry about the war that only makes the rich richer. And angry about my upcoming unemployment and lack of prospects for any employment.
