1. Very cool - thanks. Unfortunately, I don't think the WH gives a shit about the left. nt |

so why did Obama demand unemployment insurance for another 13 months, extending the earned income tax credit to benefit families, college tax credits, and a pay-roll tax cut all for the middle class?

7. Winning back the middle by sacrificing the left speaks volumes about his true opinions of his party. |
|
He clears prefers Republicans and Independents. DINO might be too left of a position for him.

19. You say he sacraficed the left.... |
|
but what should have Obama done short of holding a gun to the fillubustering repubs (and 5 dems) in the senate to get what the left wanted? By the way, if he clearly prefers the repubs then why in the heck did he demand and get unemployment insurance for another 13 months, extending the earned income tax credit to benefit families, college tax credits, and a pay-roll tax cut. If he cared about the repubs he would not haqve demanded all of this for the LEFT!

11. Although I don't think I agree, the petition will tell our representatives how we |
|
feel, and THEY will listen to us more than Obama will. I think that's why they ask for the zip code -- xxx number of voters in your precinct/state urge you to fight against this.
It's worth a shot.

People need certainty for folks getting paychecks in January.
Settle on something now, IMHO.

14. That's why I'm flopping all over the place on this. I'm SO against the tax extensions, |
|
but for those people who need that income to survive...
It never should have come to this.

16. When you call, when you write letters, when you send emails and sign petitions... |
|
Congress and the Whitehouse just ignore us. Now, if we were to send packages of hundred dollar bills, then they'd listen.
