Open Letter
Dear Mr President,
Your Words:
So I pass a signature piece of legislation where I finally get health care for all Americans, something that Democrats have been fighting for for 100 years, but because there was a provision in there that they didn't get that would have affected maybe a couple million people, even though we got health insurance for 30 million people, and the potential for lower premiums for 100 million people that somehow that was a sign of weakness and compromise.
Sir - I think you're starting to sound like my ex-huband, trying to make excuses for his philandering by listing his good points. Problem is, every good point he lists requires that I sacrifice more than him, and to top it off, I had to go get antibiotics for the infection he passed on.
You, sir, are starting to remind me of him. We could have gotten much better deals if we had all fought for them together. Instead we get secret backroom deals and compromises that elicit no return.
Please, for the love of !America! , get a spine and dust off your veto pen, you're gonna need them.

What In The World??
What?!
Still, House Democrats said they could press ahead as early as Thursday with a vote to allow the tax breaks for income over $250,000 for a family to expire even though such a plan appears unlikely to be able to clear a Senate filibuster, given solid Republican opposition and resistance from several Democrats. Democrats said they could use the votes to make their position clear and also illustrate that they do not have the votes to block extension of those tax cuts, clearing the way for concessions.(my ems)
And the Dems should get their messaging together: We want the same tax cuts for everyone - on the first 250K of income - for everyone who pays taxes in America. It comes to about 6K each. If the richy-rich don't notice their $6,000.00 bonanza, they can just stuff it.
They should consider themselves lucky they didn't get thrown in jail for imploding the world economy and killing the hopes and dreams of millions.
