Washington (CNN) — President Barack Obama on Monday announced a deal with Republican leaders that would extend Bush-era tax cuts for two years and unemployment benefits for 13 months while also lowering the payroll tax by two percentage points for a year.
The compromise, worked out in negotiations involving the White House, the Treasury and congressional leaders from both parties, includes provisions that each side doesn't like, Obama said in a hastily arranged statement to reporters after discussing the proposed deal with Democratic leaders.
Dear Mr. President,
I am done. You really seem like a nice enough guy, plenty to like about you, but you have let me down consistently and I am done. You were elected to do many things and even the ones you have tried to do, keep patting yourself on the back for that silly healthcare initiative you cobbled together, mostly you have bent over backwards to kiss the asses of your political enemies.
Seriously, for 8 years a complete moron occupied your office and he was able to do many terrible things just because he dared the wimpy democrats to come after him at a time of terror and war. It worked, he skipped out of office a disgrace, but not charged as a war criminal. Of course, you could have called for investigations, but you said it was best to leave that era behind. Of course you said that as your administration continued many of the dastardly ways of the Bush group. I will never understand why democrats allow impeachment when a man lies about a blow job and refuse to even investigate a president who happily admits to torture.
Anyway, your team lost the midterms and instead of standing tall and debating the republicans about when it might be time to raise taxes to pay off trillions of dollars in republican debt, you instead find yourself all contorted to be able to kiss as many republican asses as possible. Amazing that for such a smart man and seemingly capable politician, you allow republicans to control and manipulate you at every turn. Remember the whole health care debate, where you dropped single payer because you wanted to negotiate with the republicans and when you sold out on every issue, they still never voted for it.
You are being played by unskilled hacks. How can that be? Where is the smart guy who gave all those speeches? The guy who was going to fight for fair taxes, the guy who was going to end the wars and the torture, the guy who was going to let gays serve their country in the Armed Forces? That guy is certainly not occupying the Oval Office.
PS; Hillary, I mocked you in 2008, but if you run, I will vote for you as often as possible.
Palin remains pretty.
