    It killed Obama to pass the tax extensions knowing it just might create a few jobs in 2011. I believe the only reason he fought for the unemployment extensions is because it added to the deficit and no way to pay for it. I think Obama knows exactly what he‘s doing and bankrupting the country is Obama’s goal.

      Actually the unemployment benefit extensions are for the purpose of placating the victims of cloward/piven obamanomics.. Although shamed into the tax credits and a little recovery/status quo economics, obaam and the progressives have lots more Jihad to commit up their sleeves. The only pivot we have here is a ‘run for cover – blame the republican house majority’ for all the ills of the $6 Trillion obamaPelosiReid 2007+ deficit spending.

      It is a “target rich” environment out there without the risk of martyrdom that is for sure, but it is not the answer. What really gets me is that there is no formidable movement to impeach this socialist idiot we have in the white house as commander and chief. There is more than enough video news footage proof of his moral incompetence… His out right lies to the American people… and out right disregard for the constitution for which he is sworn to protect! Why do we have to put up with 2 more years when even the MSM is highlighting his inability to lead? OJT? Give me a break!

    Want to know how brainwashed Brokaw and his ilk have been?

    These idiots actually believe in their hearts that they are objective.

    There is a reason these dolts tend to be more “eductated”.

    It’s called indoctrination.

    Note however, “educated” does not always me “knowledgable”. Like Reagan said, “It isn’t that they are ignorant; It is that they know so much that isn’t so.”

    Will the 112th. Congress continue with the “dog & pony show”?? If so, then George Soros and Barack Obama have won the battle and the Republic for which it stands, will fall. Resistance to the “usual” way Congress spends “our money” has to be “greater” than the acceptance to spend. Do we want Socialism or even Communism in place of Capitalism? It is now up to us during these next two years to pressure our elected representatives to NOT to spend and compress entitlements. When there are more people on entitlements than people working, it is obvious what the “out-come” will be for a country!

      OJT (on the job training) helps when you have basic experience and the ability to learn. Our Ass Clown in Chief has neither. But no worries. The drive-by media will continue to cover for the man child. I take extreme exception to them even putting the name of Reagan in the same sentence with the man child.

      No, we cannot allow the staterun media to redefine reality. They want to ignore 2 years of awful leadership as evidenced by the following; soaring debt, battered economy, record-length of double digit unemployment, war losses, increases in terrorism, divided citizenry, overrun with illegal aliens bent on crashing the social service network set up for American poor, looming austerity fights, de-funding of social experiments run-amok, staring civil unrest square in the face – Obama has angered our allies and emblodened our enemies.

      This has either been a study in ineptitude, or a study on how to bring a nation down from the inside.

      …and Tom Brokaw wants to infer NOW that Obama may not have the EXPERIENCE required to lead through a…split congress?

      Thanks to collaboraters and sabatuers like you Brokaw – we have no recourse. It doesn’t matter if this dolt-in-chief SHOULD learn a new philosophy. He has two years remaining – and he doesn’t HAVE to play nice in order to maintain any momentum. The only thing he will do is await you folks building him up again in time to try to dupe the people into re-nominating/electing him.
