11. Just quoting
Edited on Fri Dec-17-10 02:44 PM by get the red out
I was just quoting the phrase on TV this morning. Not really trying to get the whole DU "Obama pro-con battle" started with it. I can't help if MSNBC said it.

4. Uh, was that a "news" article or an op-ed piece?
With statements like "In a rare reach across party lines, Obama negotiated the $858 billion package with Senate Republicans", and "overcoming an attempt by rebellious Democrats", it's not hard to see which way AP leans.

7. yep
in 2012 this will be spun as the Republicans stopping a huge tax increase for all Americans and the Democrats adding another 900 billion to the deficit.
