Watching Lawrence O'Donnell last night was an eye-opener for me. Every now and then I watch his show and I knew he was the kind of host that treats all his guests the same no matter who you are. It doesn't matter if you are progressive, moderate or Republican if he hears BULLSHIT coming from your mouth about an issue, he will call you on it and BOY DID HE CALL OUT ADAM GREEN, JANE HAMSLER, ROGER HODGE and MARY LANDRIEU last night. I think I stood up and applauded him
More over the fold
He blasted ADAM GREEEN and JANE HAMSLER and that IDIOT Roger Hodge cause they seem to not realize the choice obama has right now to get something done to protect the working folks in this country. He repeatedly asked them how do they expect to get anything passed with a more conservative congress in january? All they want obama to do at this point is FLY AROUND THE COUNTRY, SCREAMING AND YELLING and SHAMING the republicans into doing what he wants. So far how has that worked? Seems like obama has been doing that all along and it hasn't change one thing, the GOP and 5 CONSEVADEMS STILL BLOCKED BOTH BILLS.
Progressives on Obama
Jane Hamsher, Adam Green, Roger Hodge and Ezra Klein join the show to discuss Obama’s compromise with the GOP on taxes.

He kept asking them what are you going to do RIGHT NOW to prevent taxes from going up on middle class and lower class americans? He asked that repeatedly and I heard gibberish and CRICKETS. The bottom/poor people in this country is about to see their taxed DOUBLE in january. So again what is the choice obama has right now?
President obama went around the country in Aug/Sep/Oct talking about these tax cuts ending and that something needs to be done. He told the democrats in congress to get a bill passed before they leave for midterms. The House said the senate had to pass it first, then the senate said the house needed to pass it. Then you had those in the house who decided it was too RISKY to vote on tax cuts because of the upcoming midterms cause they were afraid attack ads would be used against them and they did what they always do KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD until after the midterm. Now that their backs are against the wall cause they punted this, everybody is screaming at Obama. He repeatedly told them to pass it and he gave them plenty of ammunition to pass it and what did they do? They PUNTED until after midterm.
If they don't fix this tax cut for middle class, President Obama and the dems will get blamed for taxes going up. Unemployment benefits need to be extended. In exactly 1 month a more conservative, more combative tea party congress will take over. Ya think Unemployment Extensions will pass? HELL NO Ya think middle class tax cuts will pass...GOOD LUCK!
Rewriting Landrieu
Those on the left who thought President Obama should've fought harder on the Bush tax rates found a hero today in an unlikely place. Msnbc’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains.

Then on the THE LAST WORD he blasted that HYPOCRITE Mary landreu of Louisina who seems to be trying to distance herself from Obama by throwing out Fire bombs but all the while she was lying sack of shit. Claims that obama has at least 40,50,60 folks in line to support his tax plan but it failed 53-37. That is the REALITY. Although some folks seem to think Obama can wave a magic wand and 60 votes will magically line up to vote.
THANK YOU LAWRENCE O'DONNELL FOR CALLING OUT THESE FOLKS WHO SEEM TO CONTINUE TO BLAME OBAMA AND NOT LOOK AT THE BACKSTABBING CULPRITS IN THE CONGRESS AND SENATE WHO KEEP VOTING IN LOCKSTEP WITH THE GOP!
