#2 This is Summers not Obama.

Still, the admission that reducing taxes is good for the economy is a major problem for the Left.

#4 Summers says positive reviews coming in from economists show the deal is the right thing to do

Are these the same "economists" who gave us the stimulus in all it's many and productive forms??

#5 Summers wouldn't say it without Obean's approval.

And even if the Dems can't tax, that doesn't mean they can't continue to spend. Which they will until stopped.

#6 A double-dip recession refers to a recession followed by a short-lived recovery, followed by another recession. However, there has been NO recovery, just flim-flam, stimulus spending to give the impression of a recovery. We have been in the Great Recession since 2007 or so.

#8 However, there has been NO recovery

I guess they are using the term "double-dip recession" because it sounds better than using the term "being only halfway through this recession".

And yes, in case you've been living under a rock (i.e.: in the WH), those "recovery" indicators they've been touting are total crap.

#9 I guess this means the 4-6 million new (or saved) Obama Administration jobs are not arriving anytime soon?

#10 drudgereport.com and has an article about how Obummer just turned a White House press briefing over to Bubba Clinton. Bubba expounded on the need for the tax cuts while the bummer walked out, saying he had to go to a party. Walked out and left Bubba at the podium!

What was it that Truman said..."If you can't take the heat, call Bubba?"

#15 To those who say 'Is Palin the best you can come up with..', it appears the Clintons are the best they can come up with. So, how's that 'anyone but Clinton' crowd in Donkland feeling now? /heh

All together now...
