Many are wondering is this a good deal or bad deal, necessary or not? I don't like it.

Listenting to Pelosi's chief house aid (rep) this morning, he said, : "what we don't get is the estate tax. No one asked for that. The Republican's were surprised it was in there.

We didn't need to give that away to the Republican's. He was very sure.

It gives, I think, 60 billion? a year to 39,000 families.

I hope that is not Obama is saying too.

Not Obama, me. I am tired of all the hassling. Its probably politics as usual but its giving me a big headache right now.

You will not feel the way you do if you see his moves as those where he comes out the winner no matter what.

Oh I think he will win in the end. I've thought that since the midterms. I do think he gave too much away to the Rs but then I wasn't privy to the negotiations.

The rich and the Repubs are now under the gun to produce jobs while the middle class jobless folks continue to get their jobless benefits. They now have to produce something within the next 2 years. I hope the WH keeps holding the Repubs feet to the fire right up until 2012.

I expect the Rs to fail miserably over the next two years. Again, I have thought that since the midterms. They can't govern....that's very clear and their leadership is pretty lame.

I think Obama will win but I suspect the country will come out the loser over the next two years and this country can't afford to be losing all the time.
