half the people polled said they thought there should have been a tax increase as part of the deal...helll, the bush tax cuts shouldn't have been continued-whose fault is that? the lowering off ss take out-whose fault is that? they were allowed to continue because the next election was right around the corner. d.c. is in election mode 24-7, which is why we are where we are. it's our govts fault, regardless of party.
and i agree, i think obama has proved he's no leader.
