i liked the hostage analogy that Obama used, because it's quite true. And i think those on unemployment (if this passes) will understand who gave a shit enough to compromise, Obama or the Repubs.
One flaw in his analogy though. i'm fairly sure that when "the hostage is going to be harmed", it means it's time to deliver a headshot to the hostage takers. Just sayin'.

I dislike the hostage metaphor because it leaves out the crucial bit of reality - that the hostage takers (Republicans) really have no intent to let the hostages get out alive (let the rich tax cuts expire, or grant long term financial help to anyone but there rich buddies) , and they're telling the negotiator whatever he wants to hear to buy more time to get in a more advantageous position.
So, if I may offer another analogy, one more apt, Obama just burned the village in order to save it.

"At 7:30 AM PST, Bernie Sanders began a filibuster of the tax compromise. The longer he goes, the better he gets. You can watch the stream on CSPAN2. Here's a clip of him talking about child poverty in the US as compared to other industrialized nations..."

As a side note, I thought all you Tea Party people were up in arms about the deficit? This great "bipartisan agreement" hacked out by President Community Organizer and the Republicans would add $800 billion to the deficit. I'm not seeing your usual stream of cap locks and images for this? So ..um..I guess the deficit really wasn't the issue then, huh?
- theyre up in arms about as much as the students in the UK are upset about tuition.********
- Yes. That's quite obvious from the rioting in Cleveland I see on my TV.TheBlueOne
- im saying ppl only care about deficit when the cuts don't effect them. liek now peopel only care about tax cuts, becuase its not on them********
- becuase its not on them. like you dont care abotu deficit whne its health, but tax cuts you do. cake and eat it too********
- Apparently you just missed this election thing we had in November. And my point.TheBlueOne
- then again doubt the cuts are about deficit anyways...more about revenue to pay for newly proposed projects********
- yea i have no idea what your point is.. im jsut ramblin for ramblins sake********
