The very next day they come out and say hey a for filibustering everything across the board.

Hey mr. president has that bipartisanship thing working out for you any day now you're gonna get the Republicans will be bipartisan right go right around the corner you keep waiting for see what comes out of that corner ok so they said no no of course you liked the first one is a second what's it and what what what the president do now he's you know he's in the middle right now that they have a bipartisan meetings on tax cuts so they can come to a compromise that in the middle and what Obama said was in Geithner said because guidance of all those meetings is ok well we're doing these meetings let's make sure that we don't fight in the press let's try to come up with a constructive solution and was like oh absolutely no no fighting the press it again later but filibustering whatever no fighting you know what what what I just hit you with a chair in the Baghdad what do you mean it spoke mr. Obama what are you gonna do about it as another one right across the face and the second reason i'm amused by this all they're going to filibuster everything oh really and that would be different than yesterday how that like that I love like this is big news did you hear the republican filibuster alcohol sick fucks everything every day I got Wow.

Is everything gonna be okay while Republicans are being obstructions I'm this just it but no no that was in two years ago.

Alright look at the one part of this that is relevant is the you know within reason we're doing this is because they want to defeat the DREAM Act which is about immigration of course anyone defeat the repeal don't ask don't tell all the couple of other proposals and so what they want to do is say oh no we gotta deal with the tax code issue first they know that's the hardest issue and that's gonna take the longest amount of time they try to run out the clock otherwise read come in and say are listed rimac let's do while we're working in negotiating on the tax cuts but their problems don't want that they want to take their sweet time so they can get their new Congress in and kill the dream act and and kill the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell look from a political perspective that smart let's see how the Democrats handle it now the thing is I know how they're gonna handle it there's no way they're gonna do it right and I'll tell you what ok because there is a correct way of handling this what you do is you come and say okay fantastic your filibuster everything great let's do it up a lot am I supposed to listen to not bring up the dream act today and I'm bringing out the repair repeal tomorrow okay you want filibuster have added costs and I'm gonna go on TV and i'm gonna go to every newspaper and I'm gonna scream from the rooftops.

These are guys who don't want immigrants who worked really hard to get good grades or that want to serve our country in the military they don't want to serve their I guess against the troops the troops need backup.

People want to sign up for the army but these guys are gonna stop we have these people work hard great GPA said I want to be part of this country have been contributing all this time but not their problems and stop them hey Latinos you see what the Republicans just did he just spit in your eye let's have at it Hoss you want to filibuster of bringing bringing right Don't Ask Don't Tell over seventy percent the country and over seventy percent of the military is a favor of repealing Democrats what are you scared of what them filibuster and then take us like hammer tool that's how you do politics but you know the Democrats are going to do it because they've lost sight of how to play this game I don't think they even realize that's a possibility that right now I think the only thing that's under discussion is how do we move these things back to accommodate the Republicans because you know who it otherwise we won't be able to bring them up and they won't they won't pass i look I want them to pass desperately right of the legislation that i'm in favor but i think the way you get him two passes by putting political pressure so if you lose in the short run that sucks but I can live with it if you're playing the right long run game but these guys to have no long run game so they'll go to the button above but they look cool of the hell put it up now.

Meanwhile last thing on this the Democrats are coming out if now this is what the fourth day in a row i read a story about Democrats in the Senate and House a knot that's it we're gonna put up the middle class tax cuts and and that's all.

And if the Republicans want to vote against it great.

I they will do that they were before they immediately buckle and no compromise so it dont if you see those stories i'm just giving you a heads-up don't pay any attention to ok it's it's nonsense theatre and I tell you today's it you know there's a huge over here to look at this Associated Press a headline Democrats look to call gops bluff with bush tax cuts vote i saw i was like oh come on right but I'm going I'm game on Game I read the article I read the article in at the end of course they're like how they're gonna bring it up for a vote and then after they lose they will stop and compromise and give the Republicans what they want out.

Stop wasting my time man stop wasting my time right as always I could be proven wrong on any given day I and i can't wait for that day when the Democrats come back and call their bluff say we're gonna stand up with the middle class and we're coming for right answer we got a new sponsor audible.com go I love audible.com because they have over seventy five thousand titles to choose from and you can download on both your ipod or mp3 player.
