2. I love how the Punditocracy is blaming Obama for "hiking their crushing taxies!"

Bullshit. It's a return to semi-reasonable levels. The way these pillow bitch-asses are whining, you'd think Obama was hiking the TMTR to 45% (that's the minimum of where I think it should be). Reality is, Obama is not doing, and doesn't really HAVE to do, ANYthing.

This is all on YOU, Republicants!

Pretty hilarious that conservatives are so deficit/debt-hawkish but are unwilling to cut even a DIME of anything detrimental Bewsh and Rea-gone did (occupations, corporate welfare, tax cuts, etc); only things that help people should be put under the microscope. And that's why I think conservatives need kicked dead in their asses.
