Barack Obama

asked Reid to present on Monday:

Obama To Congress: Come To A Deal – Or Else

Which referred back to the great progressive budget that Obama offered about a month ago:

Obama offers GOP an ambitious, progressive debt-reduction plan

And Tx4obama posted this, which will be sent to the House. I suspect it's a clean bill, as Pelosi has suggested, with up and down votes, to let the GOP followers show their true colors:

$60B Sandy aid package clears Senate

People who don't want to know the facts, won't be bothered with them. I'm sure hoping this is what is going to happen. Obama has consistently stood by those who have continued to be hurt by GOP instransigence on jobs, etc. and to protect the most vulnerable and the unemployed.

There are millions of reasons that Obama has worked so hard to make a deal with the duly elected House GOP, and here is the story of a DUer showing the danger to him, right now:

I Just Qualified For The 2nd Fed Extended Unemployment Benefits...And I Might Get Cut Off Tomorrow

This is the reason Obama has been working with the GOP because it's the law. He's no dictator, and the finnacial disaster that awaits people is real and not a game. But only 9 recs and only 4 replies so far. Do purists care about real people, or only about being seen as tough and winning some ideological game?

If I was you, I'd delete the OP you made if it's turned into a cesspool. Others lurking at DU, looking for answers from the Democratic Party and a place to join up, will be discouraged by that. The top of the trending page is a thread mischaracterizing those who support Obama - obviously unpopular. It's sad to see DU used as tool by those who despise Democrats.
