7. Check out how the GOP were scared to death that Obama would make
them look like scrooges right before the holidays by emphasizing how the UE benefits would help people, families, the economy......but he DID NOT.......he just would NOT make the case.

HE CAVED

And By CAVING he showed them HOW to hold OTHER THINGS HOSTAGE as well.

That trade off of Bush tax cuts and UE benefits was a TOTAL FAILURE and absence of leadership

Hi poll numbers in matchups vs GOP contenders reflect it.....it has been a summer of drip drip drip
