      <![CDATA[#2, Obama's not holding all the cards. Revenue bills must originate in the House (that pesky constitution, remember?), and it's controlled by the Republicans. Obama campaigned on higher taxes for the top 2%, and he won a clear victory. So, he's holding to his promise, while the Republicans are the ones doing nothing. You might notice that they haven't delivered any legislation. This is their fault, not Obama's.

      <![CDATA[It's truly sad whats happened with the shooting, but guns are not the problem. If you sit back and think of how many doctors can't report due to client confidentiality that their "client" should not own a gun. Do they need to make stronger gun laws to make sure they don't fall in the wrong hands, yes. Start at fixing the problem instead of trying to cure the symptoms. I've had a few conversations with what I think are level headed people, one of the idea's that came across was to put some of our new veterans to work at these schools. But stopping the sell's of guns doesn't prevent murder, nor does it make it less easy to prevent people like Timothy Mcveigh from killing allot of people. You look at all the true statistics, the less gun control and more people owning guns the less crime, but there needs to be a balance. I just hope more people realize this before we have another Hitler on our hands.  God help us even though we have taken you out of our schools. Please forgive us for we do not know what we do.

      <![CDATA[Those who want gun control like Diane Feinstein and Leland Yee should live in the ghettos for a year without their bodyguards so that they can understand what its like to be defenseless.  They are laying off cops and EMTs, and leaving us all to our deaths.  We need to be able to defend ourselves.  Law abiding citizens should be allowed to conceal carry in California.  Only those with political connections are given CCWs leaving us defenseless.

I know we can think of better solutions in magic land, but here on Earth, democracy is the art of compromise. <br />
<br />
Odd you would decry him for suggesting small tax increases on the middle/lower classes, and cutting SS, when you are suggesting he just reject everything, leading to increased taxes on the lower/middle classes, and the cutting of SS and medicare/aid. <br />
<br />
What world are you living in?  But you are done trolling me, this is way off topic.  <br />

We are supposed to be calling the NRA fucktards and murderers.

      <![CDATA[@$ I know enough to know that when we have to resort to using the word "hopefully" we are already fucked.<br />
Obama's last offer raised the ceiling for being considered rich, and increased taxes on the poor & middle class while cutting SS.  All things he said he would not go for.  Things 66% of Americans do not want to happen.<br />
We got duped re-electing this guy.  He does hold the cards: reject anything less or thet the cuts expire for everyone.  A tactic that has been urged around these parts.
