Let the cognitive dissonance run wild
That traitor Obama fought for more revenue increases which is what Democrats want, and the republicans bailed out. They got Boehner to accept letting the big Bush tax cuts run out. This is more proof of how Obama has sold us out...or not. We can't figure it out.

1. The cognitive dissonance is probably the point.
The old razzle-dazzle.

7. That's "rope-a-dope".

2. Boehner hasn't accepted anything yet.
He is not negotiating in good faith. This is a Republican con game and I hope it swallows that party whole. fuckers.

3. I agree
I don't think he is negotiating in good faith. He knows that if there is a deal, Obama would get too much credit and we can't have that. He also has painted himself into a corner with the no revenue increses nonsense.

6. I saw that unsourced tweet.
BTW the following tweet in your link says that it would be based on tax reform. That reform would lower rates further than the current level. Why would you need to to extend the tax cuts in that case?

9. I don't understand Obama any longer. I canvassed and donated to his campaign...
And he doesn't even have the decency to get on the BIGGEST PODIUM IN THE WORLD, and tell his people what Repukes are trying to do, and what they (well, we the people) need to do to stop them.

Maybe there's a reason he doesn't do that. Maybe he does want to destroy Medicare, Medicaid and SS.

I don't get it, but it's smelling badly.
