MSNBC Countdown w/ KEITH OLBERMANN - March 19, 2009.

1. Much as I like Lawrence,..

I think he's putting a happy face on it. We really need to take care of that AIG bonus crap, and I doubt this will cause dissenting Republicans problems with Norquist's blithering gang of tax zealots. Though it is good to see a fissure in among House Republicans here.

2. But isn't this all just a sad game of "gotcha"?

If I understand this correctly, the House passed the bill, but the Senate will never even take it up? So in other words, it is meaningless?

Jesus Congress, is this what we sent you to Washington to do? Play f*cking games??

Maybe Geitner IS the only person that can figure this out. But we need to bank loud the drum with the facts on this robbery. This was done under the last administration's watch. If they think they can pin all this on President Obama and Geitner, they need their asses kicked, and kicked OUT of Washington!

I'm so sick of these f*cking repug/fascist part of no idiots stonewalling and wailing about the shit stew we are in as though it is ALL the present Congress and administration's mess. Utter bull shit.

Wake up America. We are a nation of morons...and are we going to just keep playing these stupid political games??

3. What do you mean "wake up America". We are awake. Gotcha should be played.

[bjobotts]

4. "Gotcha" isn't sad...it's revealing. It shows how screwed up the repubs thinking is.

[bjobotts]

5. If it won't pass the senate then we need to call out the senators.The house did good

[bjobotts]

6. Cantor revealed he stands for nothing until he gets his marching orders.

[bjobotts]

7. btw- the marginal tax rate on the wealthy was 90% before Reagan.

[bjobotts]

8. And the nation was doing great.Had a Middle class and money for infrastructure repair.

[bjobotts]

9. Decreased tax rate to low 30s and then the wealthy gave out million $ bonuses.

[bjobotts]

10. And bridges started collapsing along with flood pumps and walls

[bjobotts]

11. Repeal the "Reagan" tax cuts not just Bush's.

[aquart]

12. The rich starved this nation. Unpatriotic asses.

They didn't even pay their piddling corporate taxes.
