So far Republicans have squandered the 2010 midterm win.

Until they get rid of the Democrat plant, Crybaby Boehner, the House will only be a tacit supporter of the Obama agenda.

No one is more dangerous to the Republic than Boehner.

It’s great the Republicans will fold so easily on this. It makes them easier to primary.

RE :"Until they get rid of the Democrat plant, Crybaby Boehner, the House will only be a tacit supporter of the Obama agenda."

There is plenty of blame to go around in this latest fiasco BUT I was calling for Boehner's removal after the 2008 election, and again after the 2010 election(House Speaker). It made NO sense to keep him in charge after the two disasters 2006 and 2008. After the 1992 election loss Republicans cleaned house.

What we need is a conservative version of Pelosi, someone trusted (conservative) and strong and knows how to play political hardball and run a team game. That is NOT Boehner.

Pravda did not spin for the Soviet Communist government as hard as Yahoo does for Obama.

The Democrat enabler who wrote this abomination failed to mention that the one-year extension of the payroll tax cut will take over $200 billion dollars from a Social Security fund that is running in the red since last year. With the baby boomers retiring, there is no way it will stay solvent.

“Obama Robs the Elderly” won’t appear as a headline in any US newspaper.

“Obama is very likely to be reelected...”

We have decided not to buy a new vehicle until after next year’s election and will save as much cash as we can until then. If he is re-elected, we will be leaving the country to suffer without us.

You are right that this is economically inconsequential. The harm may come from it being added to a fraudulent list of claims of achievements when the time comes (He saved our tax cut from the evil republicans!)

This stupid pay roll tax cut is setting a horrible precedent no different than when Johnson started borrowing from the SS revenues.

Never got called on spinning this as $40 a week by the media.

Supposedly 40 bucks, saves the common man, that obama claims to be, yet he Spends FORTY Dollars on a Dog Toy and the press swoons.

If this had been anyone but the token president, the press would have been screaming, "See he treats you like his dog". Late night would be pounding him over it.

After the normal seasonal workers are laid off at the end of the year, the UE rate will be back north of 9 percent. This economy is not coming back anytime soon. There’s just way too much govt. and private debt that has to be deleveraged (paid down) and baby boomers are retiring by the boatload beginning now. They’ll be going on SS and spending less, a double whammy for the economy.

And home prices are still falling so average net worth is falling.

Thanks NormsRevenge. Shilling for Obama at AP, Julie Pace swills out:
President Barack Obama capped a bruising year by securing a tax cut for millions of Americans -- an achievement that overshadowed Washington's deepening dysfunction and the slow progress of the economy on his watch.

Obuma, like his hero Lincoln, is the most hated man in America and will not win re-election.

Not to burst your bubble sarge, but, Lincoln was reelected in 1864. It should be easy to find some hero of DumBO that meets your criteria. Lyndon, should meet your needs, strickly speaking he was elected once and did not seek reelection, due, to being the most hated man in his own party.

I hope that by the time this Social Security defunding comes up again in February, the Republicans have a more defined leadership that can lead and articulate, it is the Bolshies throwing Nanzi, err, granny off the cliff.
