House rejects Obama’s tax cut compromise as one Democrat says “fuck the president”

  There is a growing rift within the Democrat party as the far left’s aversion to compromise led the House to reject Barack Obama’s deal with the Republicans to extend the Bush tax cuts for two years.

  This is what Nancy Pelosi had to say in rejecting the president’s attempt at coming to a bipartisan agreement to extend both the tax cuts and unemployment benefits:

We will continue discussions with the President and our Democratic and Republican colleagues in the days ahead to improve the proposal before it comes to the House floor for a vote

  The House rejected this deal because it includes extending the Bush tax cuts on Americans who make over $250,000. The Democrats apparently do not understand what the word compromise means because they still want the whole ball of wax and appear unwilling to settle for anything less.

  Barack Obama negotiated in good faith with the Republicans and he came up with a deal that neither side was totally happy with–but that is what happens when you compromise. The Democrats in the House, the liberal media, and the far left voters have lambasted the president because he had to give up something in order to reach a compromise so today the House rejected the deal he struck with Republicans.

  It is becoming more and more obvious that the Democrats are not willing to compromise with the Republicans and will not agree to extend the Bush tax cuts on the rich no matter what the cost ends up being–even if that means struggling, unemployed middle class Americans will lose their unemployment benefits.

  It appears as if there is no longer any room for compromise and little chance to get a deal done regarding the Bush tax cuts because the Democrats will not be happy until the Republicans cave in and give them everything they want in return for extending the tax cuts on middle class Americans. Between the tax cuts and the unemployment benefits the Democrats are holding the middle class hostage. We are nothing but pawns in their game to soak the rich and I for one find their unwillingness to compromise in the face of the electoral defeats they suffered in November when the American people rose up and rejected their radical agenda appalling.

  This deal is tearing the Democrats apart as some look to support the president while others are so upset at Barack Obama that one unidentified Democrat lawmaker went so far as to say “fuck the president.”  The tensions are so high in the Democrat party right now that they are losing all control and this is all because Barack Obama had the audacity to try to work with Republicans.

  Remember the outcry when Joe Wilson yelled “you lie” during a Barack Obama speech? This goes far beyond what Joe Wilson said and this highlights exactly how unnerved the Democrats have become with their recent defeat. They are in meltdown mode and it will be interesting to see if the media and the other Democrats are as upset with this lawmaker as they were with Joe Wilson. It didn’t take long for Joe Wilson’s identity to be found out, I wonder if we will ever learn which Democrat disrespected the president in such a blatant and unbecoming manner.

  Either way, the scene has been set for an epic battle over the Bush tax cuts and unemployment benefits and it will be interesting to see who caves in on this. Right now it is the Democrats who will be blamed if the middle class sees a tax increase and as tensions build even further, and as the deadline inches closer, the Republicans are united stronger than ever while the Democrats are staggering all over the place unwilling to compromise.
