Anybody seeing Boehner's speech? That does it - they're not

[gateley]

going for Obama's plan, IMO.

I hope the smart people take this apart.

"Tax increases are off the table."

Same Old Shit.

[Bryn]

1. Tax increases for the rich is a must!

Or America will never recover.

[sharp_stick]

4. Tax increases do have to happen

but you can bet a few more million unemployed and homeless people that the oompa-loompa known as John Bohener and the chinless wonder known as Mitch McConnell will be blocking all of that until they are able to get some batshit loon like Perry into the White House. At that point they will increase the taxes on most of us but in no way will the rich be inconvenienced with anything like loophole closures. Those of us making less than 250K a year will once again be bailing out the country.

2. Chuckles Toad is going to take it up the ass (for the team), as usual.

[ThomWV]

3. Cantor said it last night

I don't remember which news program reported it, but Cantor said the same thing last night somewhere. And right then and there I thought, well, here we go again.

[gateley]

5. This really makes me sad. And frustrated that not ONE person

has confronted these people and said "those tax cuts on the "job creators" have been in place for TEN FUCKING YEARS -- WHERE ARE THE JOBS?"

I just want to scream. And cry.

[spanone]

6. we used to be able to rely on the media to ask the 'devil's advocate' questions

now the media IS the devil

[JuniperLea]

7. He isn't on the committee...

Blowhard wind making.

[Major Hogwash]

8. Same old shit is right! They don't intend to balance the budget or create any new jobs!

They're happy with the poor state of the economy as it is, trying to blame it all on the president!!

[leftynyc]

9. And that's exactly what

the President and every single elected Democrat should be pointing out every freeking day, all day long.

[no limit]

10. And once again Obama will cave. His jobs plan will end up being budget/tax cuts

[Brigid]

11. I hope this doesn't surprise anyone.

Obama could personally save them all from burning to death in a house fire and they'd try to claim he started it.

[gateley]

12. And they'd convince a big chunk of the country, too. Any reason

to hate Obama is good enough for them.
