That is why the President is proposing that millionaires & billionaires replace the revenue that would be lost as a result of payroll tax relief, unlike the Bush tax cuts that were not funded.

We will end the practice of packaging unpopular bills with “must-pass” legislation to circumvent the will of the American people. Instead, we will advance major legislation one issue at a time.

The repugs sent bi-partisan bills to the Reid controlled senate, and Reid still rejected them out of hand.

Huh? Of course the pipeline is justifiable on many levels. Preventing it has zero justification. Of course the Republicans want it passed, it is in their bill. Obama simply can't ignore his marching orders from the environmental lobby, and achieve a compromise.

Bi-partisan? The vote was 234-190 from your source. That's party lines.
