1. Sorry, I had to unrec this, for two reasons...

The only reason Obama had to extend the Bush tax-cuts was because The GOP held the Unemployment Benefits Extension hostage,
and the drones are NOT attacking clean shaven patriotic American citizens in business suits - they are targeting Al Qaeda members that have declared war on the The USA and only a couple of them have U.S. citizenship.

2. "Clean shaven patriotic American citizens in business suits" have caused more harm to the U.S.

than any number of Al Qaeda members. Just saying.

If you don't believe me, google Prescott Bush. Hell, google George W. Bush.

3. But your comment has nothing to do with 'drone attacks', n/t

[yardwork]

5. True. I wasn't responding to your unrec, simply to the phrase about the clean shaven.

6. What about the tax extensions? Make the repugs come out and support them on the record,

Obama went behind congress and made a deal, is that OK with you? negotiating behind your own party? With the enemy?

7. That's OK, I cancelled your unrecommend with my Recommend.

10. Pres. Obama's poor leadership created 2 of his biggest failures

Hands-on Presidential leadership could have addressed extending benefits, raising the debt ceiling and ending the Bush tax cuts well prior to 2011 when we had majorities in both houses.

Pres. Obama is a highly ineffective leader.

11. Go study some Senate history

Under Obama - we had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate for a very short period of time.
Al Franken wasn't sworn in until July 2009 and Teddy Kennedy died in August 2009.

It takes 60 'yes' votes to bring cloture on bills in the Senate, with all the GOP obstruction the GOP has been forcing a cloture vote on must about every bill.

16. And how about you take off your blinders?

8. There is a middle ground...

...and it's pretty far left of what the conservatives fear. n/t
