Just a few days after Christmas, more than one million of our fellow Americans lost a vital economic lifeline – the temporary insurance that helps folks make ends meet while they look for a job. Republicans in Congress went home for the holidays and let that lifeline expire…
…We make this promise to one another because it makes a difference to a mother who needs help feeding her kids while she’s looking for work; to a father who needs help paying the rent while learning the skills to get a new and better job. And denying families that security is just plain cruel. We’re a better country than that. We don’t abandon our fellow Americans when times get tough – we keep the faith with them until they start that new job.
Not to mention it was a dropped from a BIPARTISAN budget bill. Ooops, forgot that part didn't we Mr. Obama? You know, BIPARTISAN means both sides right?

What is sad is these type of juvenile statements from the president around the holidays... What an idiot... He must have a low opinion of American intelligence...
I don't mean to sound cold, but who cares? All these politicians are rich and rich people always go on vacations and there always has been and always will be poor people and children in this country that are hungry and don't eat during the holidays.
People always trying to make old normal stuff into new offensive stuff... boredom.

It doesn't help that his low opinion keeps being validated time and time again.

As evidenced by his re-election.
