1. So, did he convince you how great it is?

[elleng]

2. No, its not great and he did not say it is, its a COMPROMISE.

'settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions'

[aquart]

4. What did they concede? No firing squads?

[pam4water]

3. He starts with a lie. "... economists say letting the tax cuts expire would be bad for the economy

Then he signals Obama is willing to cut everything. Not good.

[elleng]

5. What's a lie about that?

Don't we all know, including economists, that the economy needs cash in hands of consumers so they/we can consume?

Compromise= settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions.

[aquart]

6. Again, what did THEY concede?

Let me know when you find out.

[elleng]

8. Unemployment compensation, for one big thing.

and two year alternative minimum tax (AMT) patch,
retention of key tax cuts for working families (earned income tax credit, child tax credit, American Opportunity Tax Credit),
reducing the workers' share of Social Security tax for 2011 from 6.20% to 4.20%.

7. I thought he went fishin'

Can we please hunt up a new spokesperson who we actually might trust listening to?

(no, I'm not talking about David Axelrod)
