Well, didn´t someone use an auto-pen to sign Obama´s birth certificate in Hawaii?

Yeah, Ukulele did.

Did one of his kids sign it?

At some point, probably not too far off, a certain number of people who cannot sit idly by just watching the malevolent socialists and their GOP enablers destroy the US economy, are going to do - something - about it.

One day, perhaps, people are going to wake up from this grim nightmare and realize that you can´t confiscate material wealth from productive people, while not cutting spending on non-productive people without eventually resorting to violence. Obama´s road has only one destination, whether or not he realizes it, and that destination is tyranny by an oligarchy that thinks it is qualified to make personal decisions for individuals including how much money an individual should have.

The two America Edwards was talking about is already here, but it is not based on wealth but based on world view. One thinks that an elite, qualified small group of people should make decisions for the rest of us while the other thinks individuals living with freedom to make even bad choices trumps the gilded cage of socialism.

"And I hope that everybody now gets at least a day off, I guess, or a few days off, so that people can refresh themselves" Uhmmm.... The REST of the "people" worked all year(if they even have jobs)in order to get a day or two off around Christmas...We ALL went back to work already. But Gee.."stroke of the autopen, Law of the land"..just declare a paid vacation for the rest of US until you decide to come back from your SECOND Vacation in as many weeks.

obama did nothing of the kind. He signed tax rates for 2013. Fiscal cliff (massive debt) is still dead ahead.

The media conglomerate is already touting this deal as the wave of the future on how bipartisan deals get done.In other words,simply cave to Obama´s demands and tell those stupid tea partiers to pound sand.

The left accomplished a huge goal here by making republicans cave on their no tax pledge.Now what do they have left as part of the party´s brand? Gun ownership? That´s next to go on the chopping block,sometime in Feb.

Debt ceiling increase being tied to spending cuts? Good luck with that.The liberals never give back already approved spending,no matter how wasteful it is and the GOP´s PR machine does a terrible job pointing out wasteful programs.Romney should have rammed Obama´s stimulus waste and lies down his throat and didn´t.

The left thinks Bush wasted $800 billion on 2 "unnecessary" wars so they should get the same amount of aimless spending.

How do you like the fact that a saved job counts the same as a new job?

You don´t need an extended magazine clip to go hunting so hey let´s cave on that also.

There is no Republican brand anymore. The RINO´s took the Party over long ago and sold us out. McCain, Graham, Boehner, McConnell, Romney. Their message fails every time it is tried but never changes. Perhaps instead of secret deal making with a committed America hating socialist freak Boehner should have been explaining to the American people exactly what was happening here.

We the People need to deduct the cost of flying that piece of compost legislation to Hawaii from the Campaigner-In-Chief´s next paycheck...how truly decadent!

The Democrats have just snuck in a tax increase on the first dollar, and every dollar thereafter, that the poorest working person in the Country earns. Apparently, to them, anyone who earns money is "Rich"?

We must end the charade that Social Security withholding is anything other than a 15%+ tax on the first dollar everyone earns. We should at least refer to the half ironically labeled "Employee Contribution" as what it really is; Income Tax.
