Told you they aren't big on negotiating. They like power plays, and Obama isn't man enough to take the heat ( and let them ruin the country.)

Obama has been bending over for the GOP in the name of "bipartisanship". He keeps getting up the ***, but still hasn't learned his lesson. Yesterday they have "the meeting", and less than 12 hours later the letter? They are laughing at him.

If they're willing, he should let them ruin the country. Call their bluff. You'll see that he will give in. That's why they have these power plays (he never calls their bluff.) The only way he gets elected again is if he's willing to let them do damage. He needs to let that tax cut extension run out. I don't care if nothing passes. That needs to run out. Then, have a vote on extending the tax cut for those under 250k. Get them on record voting against that.

That is
happening tomorrow. All the Bush tax cuts from 2001 and 2003 will be allowed to expire as scheduled, and tax levels revert back to what they were under Clinton (remember little national debt and solid economy?)
Tomorrow is the vote (Reid is much stronger than Obama now). The vote is on extending the tax cut (creating a new one) for the middle class. 98% of people will not see a change in their taxes. The top 2% of income earners will get a tax cut up to $250K, but not an extra cut for amounts over that.
The GOP is being welcomed by the Senate to vote it down.
** Edit just read that Reid won't do his tomorrow, it will just be Pelosi in the House.
