...and these are bad things?
In the meantime, the Republicans are holding up a payroll tax cut in Congress that will cost WORKERS extra money each week. The Republicans are the YAHOOS who preach tax cuts but are now wanting to tax MORE. No wonder the Congress has a 9% approval rating. I really wonder who the crazies are that actually are e the 9% who approve of COngress.

Nope...bad things at all !!!
CBO has already begun the reversal on healthcare "savings"....health care costs are rising and will continue to rise
Nothing has changed in big business except the President continues to collect money from them for campaigning.
And isnt it nice how the President takes all the credit for "Decimating al Qaeda" Those other guys should have at least done something, right ?
If you did any reading at all, you would know that the Republicans are actually for the payroll tax cut BUT oppose a simple two month extension instead of actually continuing it. The "continuation" is a purely political move by the Democrats and serves no purpose..just another example of pandering for votes.
BK is right on the mark with her comments....EVERYTHING he does is a simple continuation of more government and pandering for votes.
A good read in today's Washington Post....

Not all criticism of the President in the article however it ends...
"But lack of reform — not resources — remains the problem with U.S. education and with many other public-sector institutions, from housing to agriculture. The president has taken only modest steps to deal with this problem, which is not surprising given his party’s dependence on public-sector labor unions.
Public-sector unions and other interest groups wrap their causes in the rhetoric of equality. Often, what they’re really protecting are privileges that raise the cost of public services to everyone else — including citizens who earn a lot less than civil servants. Yes, Wall Street’s bonuses are stratospheric. But the New York Times recently reported that Medicaid was paying nine executives $500,000 or more per year to operate nonprofit homes for the mentally disabled."
