1 I wonder if anyone will notice this post, what with the Post From The Future on top of it.

I barely did.

2 I didn't notice it..

Wow. 

It's like there's a party in here and nobody is invited!

his previous position that we ought to tax people at higher rates even if that actually results in a net decrease in government revenue.

Epic economic and fiscal stupidity (BOTH--all in one handy package) on display, but Bristol Palin can't dance, you know.

Brah!

6 Huh?

7 This compromise will almost certainly include the extension of unemployment benefits.  When in doubt, spend taxpayer money.  Stupid taxpayers are a bunch of suckers anyway.

8 I find it unsurprising that Obama would cave. It has been my contention that if Republicans in the Senate, particularly, had opposed Obama from the beginning, much of his agenda might have been thwarted .

It's the Cankles.

10 I am sickened by how all of these politicians start from the premise that THEY own the fruits of MY labor - and if I'm lucky they'll let me keep them.  I hate hate hate hate hate them.

Giving Obama just 1% of what he wants still sucks.

The slavery party never did get very far from their roots.  We just stopped calling them what they are.

15 I hope to God we arent trading START for the tax cuts.

16
I think Obama is finally shitting bricks over the employment data.

He sees his bid for reelection going down the drain.

"President Obama and congressional Republicans have reached a tentative deal to extend the Bush tax cuts for all income levels and are presenting the proposal to congressional Democrats Monday afternoon, The Daily Caller has learned.

The deal will extend the current tax levels for two more years, preventing taxes from going up on any income levels, despite the wishes of many liberal Democrats — including Obama — that individuals making more than $200,000 a year and families with more than $250,000 a year in income see their rates go up.

In exchange, Republicans have agreed to extend unemployment insurance benefits for an additional 13 months.

Obama presented the proposal to Democratic congressional leaders at the White House Monday afternoon, seeking to obtain their approval for the deal.

A House Democratic leadership source cautioned that the full party caucus will need to give their approval to any deal, which House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, will likely present to them at a Tuesday evening meeting.

Other details include a temporary two percent reduction in payroll taxes to replace ObamaÂ’s 'Making Work Pay' tax credit from the 2009 stimulus bill, and a compromise on the estate tax, which will be set for two years at 35 percent, with a $5 million exemption amount.

The tax rate for capital gains and dividends will be maintained at 15 percent.

The estate tax solution comes from Sen. Blanche Lincoln, Arkansas Democrat, and Sen. Jon Kyl, Arizona Republican.

Obama views the unemployment benefit extension, as well as the payroll tax holiday, as measures which will stimulate the economy, which he has said is his top priority even if it means he must accept some things he does not want, such as a full extension of all tax cuts.

'We’ve got to make sure that we’re coming up with a solution, even if it’s not a hundred percent of what I want or what the Republicans want,' Obama said Monday during a speech in Winston-Salem, N.C. 'There’s no reason that ordinary Americans should see their taxes go up next year.'”

Oh, so all of a sudden The Vapid One© knows how to operate a calculator and can figure out that things cost money?

Wow, color me impressed.

19 START is clearly Mitt Romney's fault.

Put a wig on George Kennedy and he'd be Mila Kunis hot next to Senora Empathy.

Obama thought he was inheriting a recovering economy just like Clinton did in 1993.

Obama was so confident the economy was about to rebound, he thought he could blow a trillion bucks and pretend it was part of the economic recovery.

Obama thought wrong.

Loafers of the World, Unite!

What happened to 13 week intervals?

26-week intervals, even?

24 And here is yet another reason why we can't trust RINOs: Retiring RINO Caves -- Voinovich Will Oppose Extension of Bush Tax Cuts

^{Obama was so confident the economy was about to rebound, he thought he could blow a trillion bucks and pretend it was part of the economic recovery.}

If Barky had gone to Economics class, this would never have happened.

26 I have come to the hard-earned belief that liberals really are stupid. Okay, I'll qualify that: economically stupid. They may be smart as academics and that kind of thing, but liberals really, truly think money just grows on trees. They are children, actually, believing the only reason Dad isn't going to buy them that new bike is that he's just mean. Obama, by the way, is a liberal.

27 When you are a commie, nothing else matters except forwarding commie ideas.

One good hit from the crack pipe and it all would've gone up in a puff of smoke.

29 Why do always use the guy who can't throw? We've got to reach the plate!

30 What with Dan Rather and others calling for Obama to be primaried, it's time we started thinking about who would be the best person to primary him. My suggestion: Howard Dean. Obama would beat him, but Dean has the ability to keep the nutroots at home in 2012. Any other suggestions?

31 Giving Obama just 1% of what he wants still sucks.

Who's getting the money?

32 Bachmann told Hannity that officially, Congressional Republicans have not yet compromised to get the Bush tax level extension via another 13 months added to unemployment "compensation". Point being, extending the lower tax rate while increasing spending without funding sources ain't nothing to brag about. More of the same ol' GWB Republican "compassionate" big spenders.

33 OBAMA STAMPS FEET, WETS PANTS:
Gucci and Pants Creases Hardest Hit

34 We should squash the GOP into the ground!  That will teach them a thing about bipartisanship!

35 It's not about Obama wins or Obama loses, it's about economics that actually work.

He doesn't need to win or lose, he needs to become irrelevant. It would be nice if he became irrelevant because people figured out that he has a head full of bad wiring, but whatever it takes.

36 Come on, Barack! It's fourth and fifteen and you're looking at a full-court press.

37 Bush was floundering when we passed the tax cuts so it's obvious they need to expire.

38 The Republicans need to draw the negotiations out until the end of the LD session so they can keep their pledge to filibuster all bills.

39

Now he implies that a tax cut for the wealthy isn't necessarily a bad thing, except we can't afford it "right now."

Why is this always called a "tax cut for the wealthy" when all it is doing is maintaining the staus quo?

Having read the comments du jour over at HuffPaint, all I'm left with is to nod my head in total agreement.

The first six months of Obama I often wondered if I would ever stop screaming.  Now, I find myself chuckling quite a bit and am looking forward to some real belly laughs.

Obama has shot his bolt and is now engaged in a long retreat.  Keep up the skeer!
