Not only will those in Congress cave but Obama will will too and extend the cuts

1. You're wrong.

I used to think that the Democrats caved. I've come to the conclusion that they're actually achieving the outcome they want, and appearing to cave so Democrats believe their heart is in the right place.

3. Yep, a charade so they can fool people into believing there are 2 parties

But really theres only one corporate party with 2 divisions.

2. Premature gloating?

How disgusting.

4. Dude, you are so awesomely awesome - that's amazing

Thanks for reminding me. I was just sitting here worrying about something you said in August.

Hey, got any tips for the Breeders Cup races this weekend?

You should go to Vegas. You'd OWN the town!

A freaking psychic you are. Dang, could I have your autograph?

5. If Obama is going to eliminate tax cuts for the rich he would have emphatically said so.

But Obama has been doing a dance to lead on his base knowing full well he is planning on betraying them. I'm tired of such political dishonestly and manipulating the people who put him in office. Obama has squandered so much and caved in at every opportunity, but when he caves to the corrupt republicans and extends the tax cuts for the rich even one day he will lose my support forever. I do not support people who betray their supporters.

Okay, all the unprincipled people can savagely attack me and froth at the mouth at the sight of Obama, but that's okay with me. I'm not going to tolerate being betrayed.

7. It only seems like betrayal

because you aren't looking at it the right way. If you twist your neck around, just so, and squinch up your eyes you'll see it's multi-dimensional chess. Or at least Chinese Checkers.

8. Oh yeah! I see it now! Thanks for helping me understand.

6. Same here, I was saying the same thing n/t

9. He is playing us for suckers

Between his chief of staff and the education czar and the money dude...
Sure does look as if we been played like a cheap ukulele.

I really believed the hype, but, once again, I was wrong.
