Reply #36: People to blame Obama and not congress who delayed bring the tax cut issue to the floor

[Windy]

prior to the midterms for political reasons! If Obama wouldn't have acted now, we would have unemployment and a republican controlled house and no power in the senate and then we could have ended up with nothing at all.

I give obama credit. He could have taken the "easy way out" and refused to negotiate and allow the unemployed to be without but he didn't, knowing the backlash he was going to get from the far left.

He equated the repubs to terrorist today in his press conference and he was right.

Their are some good benefits to the middle class in the compromise.

And to me, it is important to remember that the republicans now own the economy and will have a difficult time crying deficit reduction...
