...except that Dems did NOT embrace the Dubya tax cuts.  The Dems that voted for it the first time around, the Blue Dogs, have been replaced, and the red dogs in the Senate insisted on a 60% majority by a joke of what they call a filibuster. Where the Dems dropped the ball is in their failure to invoke their version of the Republican "nuclear option" on filibusters.

I still wouldn't call that an embrace.


I think Clara is forgetting the makeup of the senate in 2010 and the fact that Obama lobbied for those tax rates.  Do you recall Obama attempting to quote John Maynard Keynes by saying you don't increase taxes in a down economy?
Wrong, Woody. Obama lobbied for lower tax rates for people grossing half a million or less.  Try again, Mr. Revisionist.
