The Larry Summers money shot:

Without the payroll tax cuts and unemployment insurance negotiated by the president and Congress last fall we might well be looking today at the possibility of a double dip. Substantial withdrawal of fiscal support for demand at the end of 2011 would be premature. Fiscal support should be continued and indeed expanded by providing the payroll tax cut to employers as well as employees. Raising the share of the payroll tax cut from 2 percent to 3 percent would be desirable as well.

IOW, "we must use any opportunity we can create and maintain to KILL SS!"

Unfortunately, "the ass he rode in on," is the DLC-wing of the Democratic Party. Our president chose Larry Summers as a chief economic advisor. I posit that this choice serves as one of the worst examples of Obama "showing his ass."
