4 More years! 4 More years!
-I was just pretending to be a Bush supporter chanting a slogan that would help me get 4 more more years of Bush back in 2008. Ha! Like that could really happen!

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama on Friday signed an $858 billion tax bill into law, saying "this is progress and that's what they (the American people) sent us here to achieve."
"We are here with good news for the American people this holiday season," he said. "By a wide margin, both houses of Congress passed a package of tax relief that will protect the middle class, that will grow our economy and will create jobs for the American people."
Obama was flanked on stage by Democrats and Republicans -- including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who was instrumental in getting the bipartisan legislation passed. Incoming House Speaker John Boehner, however, did not attend the bill signing.
The House of Representatives gave final approval late Thursday night to the deal, negotiated by the White House and top Senate Republicans. The final vote of 277-148 had almost equal numbers of Democrats and Republicans in support.

-Oh. Whoops.
