Those are John Cole’s words, which go a long way in describing my feelings about the chances of HCR getting better and not worse. Yesterday, in one of John’s typically snarky posts he asked: My only question- which house blue dog will be the first to introduce a bill extend the Bush tax cuts to show their bipartisanship?
Four hours later we get this:
Two House Democrats in tough reelection races are asking Congress and President Barack Obama to extend the Bush administration tax cuts.
Reps. Bobby Bright (D-Ala.) and Mike McMahon (D-N.Y.) asked members in a “Dear Colleague” letter Thursday to support extending the tax cuts, which passed in 2001 and 2003 and are set to expire this year, for at least another two years. Specifically, Bright and McMahon are asking lawmakers to sign a letter to Obama asking him to include the tax cuts in his budget plans for 2010.
Maybe if we lose another election we’ll have Dems calling for Obama’s impeachment? This is crazy.
