Reply #136: That excuse is even more trasparently phony today than it was at the time. [View All]

If you notice, every time Obama signs some new piece of supply-side nonsense or right-wing garbage into action, he's does so against his will. He's always publicly "for" things that he slowly maneuvers into the garbage.

The Democrats had other options. Since the Bush Tax Cuts were set to expire in January anyway, they could have advanced a working class tax cut bill and gone out to promote that. The GOP would be unlikely to fight that for long. Or perhaps they would have-- I suspect you'll claim as much. We'll never know, because it wasn't even tried. Why do you suppose that is?

What I care about is actual policy, not spin. After you watch Obama for awhile, you start to see a pattern. He's always signing wealthy-first legislation into law, but it's always 'against his will'.
