Coming soon...WH rethinks cap and trade, oil drilling, and card check!

[w1andsodidwe]

I guess some in his party want to get re-elected.

[Blue Turtle]

oh boy...learning on the job.

[MrB]

Oh, and then the left will say -

“see, it didn’t get passed, you can’t call us radical leftists or communists now”

[EGPWS]

WH rethinks cap and trade, oil drilling....

The one still has majority Democrat support for those and it's doubtful that will change anytime soon.

[oneolcop]

He doesn't know much about how things are in DC but he sure can dance. My wife came up with the perfect name for our "president": BOjangles

[Pharsalus]

Wow... I guess he got his hands on an economics 101 book in the Oval Office. Having this pissant in the White House is embarrassing.

[Rennes Templar]

This is ridiculous. He’s making it up as he goes along, then changing when it becomes a threat to 2012.

[Williams]

I did predict his program won’t pass, but this will only be true with continued strong political blowback. And even half his program is a disaster.

Also PO’s me that people can go on loving this idiot as a figurehead if his lousy programs fail.

[Doogle]

..don’t think tea parties are not being noticed...the rat party is getting phone calls too

[Uncle George]

I saw “Mutiny On The Bounty” yesterday and when the ship’s crew threw the breadfruit plants overboard, I thought it was more like the situation we now face than the Boston Tea Party. The libs are revolting against Capt. Bly.

[EGPWS]

oh boy...learning on the job.

Community organizing isn't a cornerstone of presidential qualification?

[Williams]

If someone can figure out a way for Michelle to get $1,000,000 a year in return for ditching these policies, it will be done. I figure as First Lady she wants an increase from her old no show job.

[MrB]

It appears that “the White House” “rethinks” anything that they can’t get “bipartisan” cover for.

[sofaman]

The looney left will blame Republicans for the failure of this bill. Its never the Left's fault. Its always someone else.

Like a bunch of 5 year olds and the electorate buys it!

[MrB]

They want cover, see my post above.

[Deb]

Amateur Hour in America.

[Retired Greyhound]

Exactly.

Hillary warned that the White House would be OJT for Obama.

[GOPJ]

Dropping “charity” write-offs is a great idea. They can keep the ones for churches - taxing religion is a slippery slope at best... dump the rest of them.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

Amateur Hour in America.

Yep...still better than Alinsky hour in America. If Obama bends to the will of the people, we still have a chance.
