34. They have ALWAYS SAID THEY WANTED IT.

The issue they got to stand on was passing it without paying for it,

"News Channel 5 quoted Senator Bob Corker also of Tennessee on the unemployment extension 2010 bill.

“My heart goes out to Americans who are hurting because Washington can’t agree on a way to pay for an extension of unemployment benefits. I voted several times to pass and pay for an extension, but I cannot in good conscience continue voting for bills that aren’t paid for,"

They NEEDED the UI extension and they knew it, but they needed to 'get something' for it. either budget cuts to pay for it... or a TAX CUT for the rich.

So they get what they WANTED... and democrats break a campaign promise.

In short... Obama got played HARD.
