The real party of NO, the GOP, steps it up

Oh that's right, it is a one way street that they want us to travel down.

I find it amusing reading about the unnamed liberals in the House threatening to not honor the Senate and Presidents deal. Their love of the progressive agenda and hatred of "the rich" are so great they they are willing to be obstructionist toward their own President and with seemingly little regard for the middle class and unemployed they supposedly give a damn about.

Before you say that the GOP wouldnt make the deal without concessions "for millionaires" lets not forget that the head Democrat in the Senate and the Democratic President signed off on the deal that the liberals are now whining about. Remember that the voices on the left spouting off are the ones that arent up for election in 2012 or are in districts/states where they are practically unbeatable. This should bring to light that the far left cares about nothing but their desire to promote thier agenda regardless of the consequences.

The entire episode proves one thing for sure. Obama sees that pandering to the left hasn't gotten him very far (he got elected for the same reason that Reid got reelected, terrible opponents) and is going to kill his chances for reelection unless he moves closer to that center where Riot and friends always claimed that he was.

Only chance Obama gets relected is an dramatic improvement in the economy (Not going to happen) or the Republicans counter with Sarah Palin.

The GOP old guard has already attacked Palin several times this past two weeks calling her incompetent publically. If Palin blunders ahead on her own she'd never make it through Iowa, because the caucuses are pretty savvy politically.

The GOP candidate isn't elected by caucus as the Dem is in Iowa, but Palin would never survive talking to those folks as she'd have to: you can't mouth platitudes and refuse media interviews with those voters, they are too educated and take their politics very seriously.
