Kent Conrad: Some Republicans want Obama to fail
"Unfortunately, I think some, and I hate to say this, but some want Obama to fail, period. And unfortunately, Obama’s failure would be the country’s failure. In a way, some of them are rooting against the country. They want political power."

5. A quick read indicates
he has let go of that idea pretty quickly (the idea of extending them for those making over 250,000). But is in favor of extending them for the middle class. I like what I see.

7. Preferably not while he is a Senator.

8. Yeah, I do. but we need to get rid of the DINO's and replace them with real Democrats.
This country is slipping over the Right edge and still people think Obama is some kind of radical Liberal.

The thing that really galls is that the first 8 years of the 21st century, and time someone had the temerity to point out the crape Buscho was doing that in FACT was screwing ou the country royal, these skirt wearing butt hats screamed, "YOU JUST WANT AMERICA TO FAIL" and the MSM parroted it, too ...
