You will get no argument from me, the "deal" made by President Obama with the Repulicans extending the Bush-era tax cuts is really not a deal at all. Where I will take issue is with the outrage coming from the Left and the Democratic Party. Since the announcement of the deal, House Democrats have gone on a tear about the deep disappointment they feel with the President's concession. To them I say, "Where were you?"
For the passed 2 years of the Obama Administration, the Democrats have done what they always do: lose the message war. The Right has done a fantastic job painting the Left as a spendthift party who wants to put this country in greater hoc to the Chinese and other countries who hold our debt. Meanwhile, it is the Right who champions the cause of the top 1%. Can anyone really be surprised the President came to the "deal" he did with the Right? While the Right won the message war (and the Midterm elections), the Democrats tucked tail and ran. They were not on the 24-hour news channels calling the Right out for saying one thing and doing another. They were not standing on the floor of the House defending the people. Ok, so maybe one or two officials were, but the point is, they were not fighting. Now they are angry with the President for not fighting. If you go into a fight against a bully AND his cronies, you are going to need some back up. The POTUS did not have back up.
The Right held the unemployed hostage, and the POTUS had to pay the ransome because the SWAT team never showed up. Now the SWAT team is pissed that he paid? Come on Democrats, grow a pair!
