President Obama has compromised with Republicans over the last several days. You read that right. In order to secure some of his economic policies, Obama conceded Republicans that taxes for higher-earners should remain cut. In return, despite the fact that they did not get all of their economic wishes, some Congressional Republicans have promised their vote. While President Obama may be trying to give himself a pat on the back now that he has secured more votes, one group of people are furious with the President: his base. Once the compromise was announced, across the internet thousands of liberal democrats took to their keyboards to bash the Commander in Chief they so blindly followed for the last two years. For example, the liberal site The Huffington Post had over 20,000 comments on their article announcing the deal. The liberal site Daily Kos had nearly 1,000 comments on their article, entitled "President Obama announces deal to continue Bush tax policy." Here are just a few comments from Daily Kos that show the tremendous displeasure that liberals have with their President (with some language cleaned up): Clearly those that supported the President just two years ago are starting to leave him in droves. This could lead to an incredibly interesting 2012 primary season and could be extremely beneficial to Republicans that election year.

The GOP allowed Obama to save a little face which is going to come back and bite them. This 13 month extension on unemployment is entirely too long. It is going to create even more of a welfare state. 29 posted on Mon Dec 06 2010 19:03:28 GMT-0500 (EST) by tobyhill [ Post Reply | Private Reply | To 1 | View Replies] http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2638397/posts?page=29#29
(laughing) Just wait til 2012, when Owe-bama is forced to take a stand on taxation during the campaign. Boehner and company OWNED Owe-bama last night.
And the Republicans are forced to take a stand on spending and the deficit, both of which they just agreed to further expand.... (are we supposed to already forget all those GOP arguments about cutting spending and the deficit?)
Just wait til 2012, when Owe-bama is forced to take a stand on taxation during the campaign. And the Republicans are forced to take a stand on spending and the deficit, both of which they just agreed to further expand.... Yup...but that won't be a problem for the Presidential Nominee. And the fact remains its still Owe-bama's Washington, no matter how much you want to pretend otherwise. 2/3rds of the Federal Government is under Democrat control til January of 2013.
It very could be if they have to run against their own party. It's going to be very hard for a Republican to run on cutting the deficit if the GOP can't cut the deficit despite holding power of the purse. And then there's that little issue called "the economy" which the GOP just agreed to help stimulate.
This is one of your more laughable assertions. Owe-bama holds veto power. Owe-bama controls Washington via his position as POTUS, and Dems holding the Senate. Which means Owe-bama can't run against a 'GOP congress'. And if he attempts to run against the GOP House, he'll get laughed out of any room that has a viable cross section of voters. Finally, a GOP Presidential Nominee won't be required, nor expected, to defend the GOP controlled House given its unlikely that nominee will be FROM the GOP House. The 2012 election cycle will be about the most important issue facing EVERY American, the economy. If unemployment is at 7% or above, Owe-bama gets fired ala Jimmy Carter. If by some miracle its below 7%, he has a slim chance of reelection.
Well then, I guess that leaves the Democrats off the hook for anything that happened between 2006 and 2008. Finally, a GOP Presidential Nominee won't be required, nor expected, to defend the GOP controlled House given its unlikely that nominee will be FROM the GOP House. Hmmm - The two-percenters owe Congressional Republicans BIG TIME and thanks to their hefty tax cut can afford any candidate of their choice.
Owe-bama holds veto power. Owe-bama controls Washington via his position as POTUS... Well then, I guess that leaves the Democrats off the hook for anything that happened between 2006 and 2008. Only if you want to pretend Democrats didn't control both the House and the Senate between January of 2007 through today. (laughing) Nice try.
Yes, and Bush controlled Washington via his position as POTUS...silly boy.
