Good grief, it’s going to be a loooooooong four more years of listening to
this asshole.
President Obama took to the road Friday to sell his plan to avoid a
looming series of tax increases and spending cuts, using a campaign-style
event to accuse Republicans of holding the middle class “hostage” during
deadlocked negotiations.
“It’s unacceptable for a handful of Republicans in Congress to hold
middle-class tax cuts hostage,” Obama said at a toy manufacturing plant in
a suburb of Philadelphia. “Let’s give families all across American the
sense of security they deserve this holiday season.”
Obama focused almost exclusively on taxes, the area of most contention
in the “fiscal-cliff” fight. The president, employing a litany of holiday
metaphors, called on Congress to extend the so-called Bush income tax cuts
for families making less than $250,000 annually.
“If Congress does nothing, every family in America will automatically
see their income taxes go up on Jan. 1,” he said. “I’m assuming that
doesn’t sound good to you. That’s like the lump of coal you get for
Christmas — a Scrooge Christmas.”
Sure, this is a serious man Republicans can work with, huh? Scrooge?
Hostages? Really?
The GOP needs to announce unilaterally — today — they’re done dealing
with him. Let him own this mess, since in large part he already does. Just
walk away. He won, let him deal with it. When we go off the cliff
Republicans will be blamed anyway. So just walk now. He cannot be dealt with
. Oh, and if you think this “hostage” nonsense isn’t part of a
coordinated strategy, get a load of this fundraising email from the
Democrats:
Boehner and Cantor just don’t get it. The American people are done with
the Tea Party histrionics that come out every time we need to pass a bill.
These guys don’t understand that the Tea Party is over. No more debt-deal
showdowns, no more middle-class hostage taking, and no more shutdowns.
Donate $3 or more right now to send a message to Boehner and Cantor: The
Tea Party is over.
If this tool was serious about the fiscal cliff he’d be in DC actually
working tog et something done. Instead he’s on the campaign trail — at our
expense — lying through his teeth. This is leadership? |
