U dont understand that the Middle Class will Be Taxed to death because U have to Pay Taxes to know what Im talking about. If U are over 64yo U know that Ur Medicare will Be Cut.

Its Not the Poor taking from the Rich its the Poor taking from the Middle Class.

Dodd,

Contrywide CEO Angelo Masilo had Finace Officer Bob Feinstein fix the sweetest sweetheart's mortgage refinancing package imaginable. In the health care package you added a 100million dollar UConn amendment. Since all Senators ganged bang the health care package, that's not all bad. You were going gang busters on Banking Finance Regulations when Angelo ask for his quid pro quo. I mean, of course you knew that eventually you'd have to pay for all of Bob Feinstein's head to toe buttering.

Here is the rub: I was a stripper in a night club and thought I was good, until I realized it was a club for the blind!. Simialr thing happened when I played football with a school for the deaf!

I am so sick of everyone grasping at straws in an attempt to imply they have some sense of certainty. There is no certainty in politics, if people haven't learned that yet, they should probably stop watching cable news.

Obama is the speaker of the Executive Branch. No more no less. Don't expect him to do anything but talk.

They already have raised taxes on mostly the working poor. Additionally the Govt. Takeover of Industry and Healthcare further taxes us while also cutting Medicare. As for the GOP winning a majority, I would settle for an even balance, though a lame-duck Obama is far less dangerous to America than than one with a rubber stamp congress.

Obama and the Democrats are trying to plunder the country, so is it any surprise they are in trouble next election? Many are no better than white collar criminals.

[wideawake123]

The sooner they're gone the better. As for impact Obama's abject failures and stubborn refusal to accept the responsibilities of the office he now holds effect will be that of a sledgehammer to the party. This is the most partisan congress in history, and the most partisan administration. The Center will out.

@Willjk89 -

And you base that on broken campaign promises! You have to be blind to not see what is going on! Expect an economic collapse sometime in the near future!

Who cares what party is in office - they all need to be audited!
