... for at least a year - and much more so since Election Day - witnessed Democrats and their media minions such as O'Donnell demanding that America not reimpose Clinton's rates on 98 percent of the nation. If these rates were responsible for the '90s economic expansion, shouldn't the left including O'Donnell be advocating that they be completely reenacted now? ....

'You've just gotta love where Obama will be - HE'LL be proposing the tax cuts for the 98% of us.' You are dreaming.

Ground Zero Mosque Update: No ‘Community Center,’ Just a Mosqueby Tammy on December 10, 2012 Posted in: Death of Right and Wrong, September 11 BS from the beginning. We mustn’t let up on this. If regular people hadn’t fought against this atrocious ‘victory mosque,’ I’m sure it would have had smooth sailing. Don’t ever forget how much the establishment pushed for this, and be proud that your resistance and protests have no doubt helped to make it a mess. May their troubles continue. Losers. Via the New York Post. The Islamic cultural center near Ground Zero that opened with great fanfare a year ago is now an empty space with no community programs. And while the developers behind Park51 insisted for two years that the project was more than a mosque, it now appears to be just that. Dozens of worshipers gather at the site on Park Place Friday for prayer services — but that’s the only activity in the building. Gone are the Arabic classes, workshops in calligraphy, talks on the genealogy of Muslims in America, film screenings and art exhibits. The sole community event is a class in capoeira — an Afro-Brazilian martial art that combines dance and music. The teacher of the twice-weekly class said she has five students… Park51 organizers repeatedly refused to answer questions about what happened to the programs offered last fall and spring. Sharif El-Gamal, the lead developer behind the project, ducked out the women’s entrance for the prayer space and would not speak to a reporter. Just two years ago, El-Gamal’s grand plans for the site — a $100 million, 15-story community center and prayer space — generated worldwide controversy because of its proximity to the Ground Zero site. At the photography exhibit that kicked off the opening of a scaled-down center in September 2011, El-Gamal admitted he erred in not including families who lost loved ones on Sept. 11 in the planning process. Development plans are now in limbo over fund-raising for the project and a dispute with Con Ed, which owns half the site. In 2009, El-Gamal’s company bought half the property, which once housed a Burlington Coat Factory store, for $4.8 million, and leased the other half from the utility. It is seeking to buy that part of the property.

Bentway, HE'LL be proposing the tax cuts for the 98% of us. a) They're not Obama's tax cuts. They're Bush's tax cuts, which Obama simply wants to extend. b) Half of all Americans don't even pay income taxes, so how can Obama cut their taxes? Tenchusatsu
