1. Very cool - thanks. Unfortunately, I don't think the WH gives a shit about the left. nt

[Dinger]

2. Yup, Mission Accomplished

You are right.

3. Really....

so why did Obama demand unemployment insurance for another 13 months, extending the earned income tax credit to benefit families, college tax credits, and a pay-roll tax cut all for the middle class?

[polichick]

4. According the WaPo today (there's a thread) it was to win back the middle. nt

7. Winning back the middle by sacrificing the left speaks volumes about his true opinions of his party.

He clears prefers Republicans and Independents. DINO might be too left of a position for him.

[polichick]

8. Can't argue with that, sadly. nt

[dennis4868]

19. You say he sacraficed the left....

but what should have Obama done short of holding a gun to the fillubustering repubs (and 5 dems) in the senate to get what the left wanted? By the way, if he clearly prefers the repubs then why in the heck did he demand and get unemployment insurance for another 13 months, extending the earned income tax credit to benefit families, college tax credits, and a pay-roll tax cut. If he cared about the repubs he would not haqve demanded all of this for the LEFT!

[Scurrilous]

6. The bad man hates the left.

:cry: :hug:

12. He's not a progressive, or even close to it - simple as that. nt

11. Although I don't think I agree, the petition will tell our representatives how we

feel, and THEY will listen to us more than Obama will. I think that's why they ask for the zip code -- xxx number of voters in your precinct/state urge you to fight against this.

It's worth a shot.

[polichick]

13. I agree that it couldn't hurt. nt

[PBS Poll-435]

5. Nah

People need certainty for folks getting paychecks in January.

Settle on something now, IMHO.

[gateley]

14. That's why I'm flopping all over the place on this. I'm SO against the tax extensions,

but for those people who need that income to survive...

It never should have come to this.

9. K&R Done. Thanks. nt

[derby378]

10. Signed, K&R!

Out of the blue, and into the black
They gave you this, but you paid for that
And once you're gone, you can never come back
Out of the blue, and into the black

[gateley]

15. Done. nt

16. When you call, when you write letters, when you send emails and sign petitions...

Congress and the Whitehouse just ignore us. Now, if we were to send packages of hundred dollar bills, then they'd listen.

18. Done. Thanks Joanne! n/t
