When you are the president, you are the head of your political party. When your political party controls both Houses of Congress and the White House, you do what the head of your party tells you to do. There is nothing that Democrats in Congress are doing that Obama hasn't signed off on, much less ordered. The only people who don't understand this are those who have never worked in politics.
Democrats like to hide this from the people, and lend the illusion of democracy (small 'd'), like "herding cats", "no organized party", etc., but that's how it is, and it's the only reason there are political parties.
If you do not get behind what the leader of your political party tells you to do, you're going to find your life really cold and lonely for the duration of your term in office. Come election time, you will NOT have the party behind you, and that is certain de@th for your time in office.

Do you remember when Obama said this?:
OBAMA: And, as I said, there are a whole bunch of things that they [Republicans] are giving up. I mean, the truth of the matter is, from the Republican perspectiv e, the Earned Income Tax Credit, the college tuition tax credit, the Child Tax Credit -- all those things that are so important for so many families across the country -- those are things they really opposed. And so temporaril y, they are willing to go along with that, presumably because they think they can beat me on that over the course of the next two years.

Middle class tax cuts are great -- When they're without a deficit that's destroying the middle class, when they're without tax cuts for the top 1%, when they don't increase the deficit by $900 billion (hammering the nails in the coffin of the destroyed the middle class), and without the 'Payroll Tax Holiday' that sets Social Security up for destructio
What Obama has done is bring in a bulldozer and dig the hole deeper, GRAND CANYON deeper, for the poor and middle class to try to get on top of.
The tax cuts for the rich, the estate tax, none of them will create jobs. None. That's what is needed. MASSIVE stimulus.

Obama ran on removing the tax breaks to companies that have outsourced Americans' jobs. Not only hasn't he kept that pledge, he just negotiated another NAFTA-like treaty, this one with S. Korea. That's going to send more Americans' jobs overseas.

Here's a test: Tell us how deficits affect the poor and middle class? Tell us what they do for citizens' access to credit.

The way you end the Bush tax cuts on the wealthy in two years is easy. Reelect Obama, regain the House and a filibuster proof majority in the Senate.

But we already did all that, and Obama fell down on the job.

To continue the Bush policies? No. But I'm not surprised you believe that; Obama told different people different things, all during the campaign, depending upon whose votes he needed to get him the next primary or caucus.

It was certainly clear that Al Qaeda was not synonymous with the Taliban, and that the AUMF did not include the Taliban.
It was also clear that Obama was speaking for that moment in time, during the campaign, and that should circumstan
