Jan 2012

..Since we are currently on the 2 month extension.

..... Did Obama just say bye bye to the $1000 per person in the paycheck and what about the unemployed? are they shit out of luck?

... Or is Obama going grow a set of Elephant Balls and BULLY the hell out of the REPUBS.

Help me out...didnt the REPUBS say they would vote against a 1 year UE and tax holidays if Keystone wasn't passed and signed by Obama.

Set me straight please...
