It IS "political triangulation" when you base your entire career on demagoguing tax cuts, then reversing course after a devastating mid-term election. He spent his entire career "demagoguing" tax cuts ? Really? Where do you get that? He disagreed with the cuts for the wealthy as w put them in place and remained consistent with that view even as he pushed to extend them for a segment of the tax payers when the economy was in the toilet..."political triangulation?" You are full of SHIT...You say that you respect Obama? You are full of SHIT... I hear it from i-node and longnshort when I denounce the "birthers" ... Congratulations...you are not totally off your rocker as those fringe elements who would make obama a foreigner. Give the man a gold star. Al

Maybe you were all for raising taxes when times were good, but that would mean having to admit that times were good under Bush. Which I never saw you do. Ever. For the first time today, I heard a MSM report say the words: "The Stimulus DID NOT WORK, it just added a trillion dollars to our debt which made things work" (I think it was a female CNBC reporter). It is time for the Left to start to admit that not only did the stimulus fail, the entire "managed economy" concept is just nonsense, and Keynesianism is dead, and governments cannot tax-and-spend themselves into prosperity. Unless Obama can somehow instill consumer confidence, he's a one-termer. They all make reference to Reagan's first term, but the key difference is the only one that matters: Reagan was able to bring about a resurgence in consumer confidence, and Obama has failed miserably at doing so. The man is MIA. There is no leadership. The Ds best shot is for Hillary to run against him. Otherwise, they lose the presidency next year.

This is your Koch Bros. at work. They gave Christie $250K to pull out of RGGI. You see they don't care if we have clean air to breath. Funny how you knew nothing about these trolls. Wingers are the devil's disciples.....and they don't even know it. Koch Brothers Behind Push To End RGGI Who is behind the recent push to end the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative? None other than the Koch brothers, some of the most notorious oil executives in America. Americans for Prosperity—which was founded and is funded by the Koch brothers—spent nearly $250,000 lobbying New Jersey Governor Chris Christie to withdraw from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative. Just last week, Gov. Christie announced that he would be pulling his state from the landmark climate program. "We've had one great victory in this battle, but the war is not over yet," said Steven Lonegan, director of AFP's New Jersey office and Christie’s opponent in the 2009 GOP primary. "My goal is to put an end to cap and trade in this country forever." This morning, Politico is reporting that AFP is “hounding state lawmakers” in New Hampshire and Maine, two other states that have considered legislation to withdraw from the climate program. According to Jeb Bradley, Majority Leader of the New Hampshire Senate, AFP have “certainly worked hard in New Hampshire.” According to Corey Lewandowski, AFP’s New Hampshire state director, "[w]e're going to have a major role in setting the presidential agenda over the next several months here in New Hampshire." AFP is also working on ending New York’s participation in RGGI. They’re organizing a protest outside RGGI headquarters in Manhattan and Phil Kerpen, AFP’s vice president for policy, is reportedly studying a lawsuit that would knock New York out of the program. AFP is warning state lawmakers who might stand in the way of legislation to end RGGI—according to Lewandowski, ending RGGI “is a Waterloo issue as far as I'm concerned." twitter.com
