Obama to Democrats: Pass the Bush Tax Rate or My Feckless Presidency is Over

Obama to Democrats: Pass the Bush Tax Rate or My Feckless Presidency is Over Scotty Starnes | December 16, 2010 at 8:00 AM | Tags: Barack Obama, Bush tax cuts, Bush tax rate, Democrats, Obama, President Obama, Rep.

Typical Obama. It's all about him and how long he can keep his mindless followers following his teleprompter presidency.

The Hill reports:

In urging lawmakers to vote for his tax deal, President Obama is using one of his go-to lines from the healthcare debate, according to a Democratic lawmaker.

Obama is telling members of Congress that failure to pass the tax-cut legislation could result in the end of his presidency, Rep. Peter DeFazio (Ore.) said.

"The White House is putting on tremendous pressure, making phone calls, the president is making phone calls saying this is the end of his presidency if he doesn't get this bad deal," he told CNN's Eliot Spitzer. 

But the White House shot back late on Wednesday.

"The president hasn't said anything remotely like that and has never spoken with Mr. DeFazio about the issue," said White House spokesman Tommy Vietor.

Gee. I wonder who is lying?

Obama's push shows that the president is going to the mat in order to push through Congress the compromise brokered with Republicans.

During the end of the healthcare debate, Obama reportedly told Democrats upset that the bill did not contain a public healthcare option that not passing it could put his presidency on the line and stall the liberal agenda for decades.

Priceless: GOP to Force Reading of Entire $1.1 Trillion Pork-filled Omnibus Bill

Make each member of congress who has an earmark(s) read their earmarks aloud on the chamber floor and explain why they are vital to national security.

Priceless: GOP to Force Reading of Entire $1.1 Trillion Pork-filled Omnibus Bill Scotty Starnes | December 16, 2010 at 2:03 PM | Tags: $1.1 trillion Omnibus, Democrats, earmarks, Omnibus, pork barrel spending, Republicans, Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) | Categories: Uncategorized | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-3P8

Now this is transparency. Democrats, after suffering historic losses in the November midterm elections, thought they would have their last hurrah by flipping off America and putting together a earmark-filled spending package. They wanted to ram it through before anyone could read it because tranparency is important to them. Well...

The Republicans are going to force a reading of the 1,914 page bill put together by the Democrats.

The Hillreports:

Republicans will paralyze the Senate floor for 50 hours by forcing clerks to read every single paragraph of the 1,924-page, $1.1 trillion omnibus spending bill.

Senate clerks are expected to read the massive bill in rotating shifts around the clock taking breaks to drink water and pop throat lozenges to keep legislative business on track, according to a Democratic leadership aide.

The bill is so long that it took the Government Printing Office two days to print it.

I'm sure they read the bill in its entirerty.

The Senate is currently debating the New START nuclear arms reduction treaty. It is expected to take up the omnibus spending bill on a separate and parallel track later Thursday.

If Republicans follow through on their threat, legislative business couldn't resume until late Saturday in order to give the staff enough time to read the bill aloud, according to a Democratic leadership estimate.

Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), the Senate Republican Steering Committee chairman, vowed not to back down.

If they bring this up, they're going to read it. It'll take them a day or two to read it, DeMint said on Fox News. Again, we're trying to run out the clock. They should not be able to pass this kind of legislation in a lame-duck Congress.

Re: ACTION ALERT: Tell the Senate and House to Pass DADT Repeal NOW!

Ya see, DADT is really not the issue at all. Its the dems
overwhelming recodification of 10 U.S.C. 654(b) - the outright ban on
gays in the military AT ALL!

Get rid of that and Clinton's DADT is moot. THAT was a VERY dem
congress, and veto-proof. Hence the EO. Way to go Bill.

There is a reason the dems in congress aren't mentioning that little
morsel.

Its because they OWN it!
