Obama asked for a full year deal. The Democrat senate gave him a crappy 60 day deal. House gave him exactly what he wanted, a 1 year deal, figure out how to pay for it at no extra debt to the US citizen and forced his hand on the pipeline deal that will create 20,000 US jobs and he still says no!

Hey Obama, of course its about Politics.

We get it, JOSH Brown, we get it. But just get used to it, since believe me, your taxes will be going up a lot anyway as soon as more of Obama’s wise policies kick in during the next few years. It’s all good for the country it seems.

I don’t think most people understand what the “tax holiday ” is : If the bill does not pass everyone will have to pay $30 – $40 dollars more into their Social Security fund each month.

I wonder if the Senate will ever even pass a regular budget. They haven’t in like forever, after rejecting Obam’s silly first attempt. It’s crazy. Lots of trouble for our man Obama, I fear.

Let me add that in addition to his excellent big spending, big government policies, which are the only way to go, as Europe has shown, Obama is still hot — I think it’s the ears. I love his large manly ears.

CATMAN

The Senate republicans wanted a two month bill so they could debate and push the pipeline deal and everything else in March. The idiot in the House, John Boehner, never communicated with Mitch McConnell, so now the House has shot the Senate republicans accidently in the butt and, rightly so, the Senate republicans are p___ed. If the deal goes through for a year, the President won’t have to deal with those debates in March.

How can we seriously be talking about a 2 month agreement or even a year agreement when we have not had a budget that the gov’t to work under for more than 2 years. I believe that that should be the first priority and stop playing around with the People’s money with no direction and constraint.

“I sure hope Obama can dig his way out the hole he has created for himself.”

So do you want to give the middle class a year long $1000.00 tax per person break like the Republicans want to do or do you want to go with Obama/Democrats two months plan and give them $167.00 per person. Is Obama just getting testy because he wants to fly off on his lavish Hawaiian vacation while we sit here suffering under his failed policies once again?? Are Democrats really this easily fooled??? Contact your Democratic Senator/House and tell them to pass the year long tax break now!!!
