The POTUS, both houses of Congress and both political parties are losers, in the strongest sense of the word. They will each claim victory in this case--the POTUS for getting an extension of the payroll tax holiday, even if for only two months; the GOP for getting it done without any new taxes (what are those new loan fees anyway?); and the Democrats for getting the holiday extended and not costing needy Americans an extra $1,000 a year in taxes. What BS!!
Our objective, it seems to me, is to really make them all losers in the 2012 elections. THAT would be a real victory!

Perhaps then we can go after the media...the centerpoint of all the stuff. The politicians play to them, because in my opinion...the media decides who and what. We are a nation of lemmings and will follow what the CNN, MSNBC, FOX, etc tell us the facts are and who is good and who is bad. They are good at it. Elected a President in 2008, and many, many, many senators and representatives.
Does not matter if you are good or bad...the media will decide and that to me is so frustrating.
