Is Barry caving to save his skinny hiney, or is this a giant head fake?

Fact of the matter is that Hussein needs the majority in the House more than he needs the Senate Dems.

He has to win the conservative Repubs...even then he can still get a handful of Dems in the Senate needed to pass this legislation.

It's vote-counting time...and that's what will determine what will pass.

I view it as a “head fake”. He’s looking out for his own skin and will walk all over the Democrats if he thinks his decisions will get him re-elected. I don’t trust him and never will. I believe his intent is to destroy the U.S.

this is exactly what bill clinton did in 1995.

This is very good for the dems.

Taxes

They tax us when we sleep,
They tax us for the tissues when we weep,
They tax us every time we buy,
They tax us when we drive and when we fly,
They tax our pants when we walk,
Run or sit, and we are getting tired of it.
They give away our money because it isn’t theirs,
And when we die they tax our heirs.
When we use our phones they tax us when we talk,
They tax us when we eat,
When we get shoes they tax the socks on our feet,
They tax everything that moves or doesn’t move,
They stay awake nights thinking of new ways,
They’ve burdened down the golden calf,
And in the population those who pay are only half.
Now, the bees do not have enough honey,
And the time has finally come when we are running out
Of other people’s money.

Hypothetical question: What happens on FR if President Obama folds and Boehner and the GOP stand firm and the debt limited doesn’t get raised?

If ANY deal comes from ANY of this, that in ANY way makes Obama look good, we will have lost.

Cnnot for the life of me figure out why the democrats are so inssistment on raising tax’s.

With the price of gas, food, energy, with unemployment at a great high, and what we are already paying in tax’s where will the higher tax’s come from?

We have just about bled out Mr. Reid. I know Democrats say tax the rich, but Congressmen and Senators are the rich, an I do not believe they will pass a tax they have to share in paying.

No cuts. No revenue. Yeah, he’ll live with that and just have his little tax cheater continue to cook the books so he can just continue to spend what he pleases. Nothing is going to stop that communist from spending. Well, something will, sooner or later, but he’s determined.

Welcome to the Wonderful Wild World of 25% Unemployment, hosted by Harry Reid, world’s foremost expert.

there had to be some fairness in this,” he said, grimly. “This can’t be all cuts.

And why not Harry?

Reid and the democrats think the answer to more taxation
is to go out and get another job to pay for it.

Harry, you will be out of work soon, let me know how
it works out for YOU.

Reid : We must raise taxes. We are not done screwing the people yet.. The economy still has a little life that we must snuff out..

Part of a comment posted after the article:
I don't believe or trust anything that Obama says or does. He is a walking talking contradiction. They used to call it lying, now it's just regular politics.
Sounds like a FReeper to me.

Let me put this idea of revenue and spending in perspective so my family can easily understand the issue.

Me :”Honey, we have to cut our spending.”

Wife: “Ok honey but you will have to get a raise from your employer.”

Me: OK honey, I'll talk to my boss tomorrow. He is a very smart man. I'm sure he will understand our predicament.

Reid: "... There has to be balance, there has to revenue and cuts.”

Washington math?

If you cut and raise taxes, what is the point? That keeps things as their are, while just shifting the money around.

It does nothing to help resolve the situation.

I wonder what the GOP's Angle on this will be?

Sorry, just Sharon the pain. :-)
