Obama is caving on raising the top tax rate and on stopping the Keystone Pipeline. He looks like a fool after threatening a veto on including the pipeline in the payroll (SSI) tax reduction. America has the Tea Party to thank for both. The democrats talking point now is that republicans didn't want tax cuts for Americans. That is laughable. Republicans always want tax cuts. They just didn't want to take taxes from one group and give them to another group.

PS. The Tea Party also stopped the ban on incandescent light bulbs. Americans can now see how getting Obama out of office will bring sensibility back to our country.

Not quite a win for the TP on the pipeline:

The bill the House passed yesterday contains a provision forcing President Obama to approve or reject within 60 days the building of the pipeline.

That is what I'm waiting to see... the decision. Either approve it or deny it, but quit waffling! Holding it over two opposing sides to gain votes is cowardice.

Ha ha. Some people say 20,000, some say 150,000. I have seen estimates as high as 400,000. The bottom line is how can Obama be against any job creation that doesn't cost the taxpayer a dime? He is out of touch and is only concerned about getting re-elected.

NPR. It's GOVERNMENT OWNED media. Would you expect an unbiased opinion?

There is no way Obama will take away the payroll tax reduction and the pipeline in two months. That is just a ploy to help him out of his stupid threat to veto the pipeline.

Umm... You do know that this isn't true right? If you lie in all caps does that make it more believable.

NPR is probably the most balanced media in the country. Despite what RushGlenn says.

It is balanced how? All of the hosts are liberals. Some of the guests are not, but most are. UM The government subsidizes NPR.
