Who was the prominent republican? Is he from a district where he won by a narrow margin? Well never know because box is posting propaganda with incomplete info and no context. Go figure.
"They say that their biggest priority is making sure that we deal with the deficit in a serious way, but the way they're behaving is that their only priority is making sure that tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans are protected. That seems to be their only overriding, unifying theme."
-- President Obama, on Meet the Press, blaming Republicans for failing to reach a deal to avert the fiscal cliff.

This from a man who brought us "Fast and Furious", Benghazi, Obamacare, and no budget in the last 4 years is now concerned about the fiscal cliff by blaming the Republicans, how about blaming his lack of leadership on some of the fiscal cliff problems.

You are welcome to blame who ever you please, but the majority of Americans blame the Republican congress... and they know it.

Dr. Zaius: Dr. Zira, I must caution you. Experimental brain surgery on these creatures is one thing, and I'm all in favor of it. But your behavior studies are another matter. To suggest that we can learn anything about the simian nature from a study of man is sheer nonsense. Why, man is a nuisance. He eats up his food supply in the forest, then migrates to our green belts and ravages our crops. The sooner he is exterminated, the better. It's a question of simian survival. Share this quote

Biden may have a little trouble selling it to the house as it doesn't sound like a great deal from the rumors that have leaked out.
Biden doesn't have to "sell it to the house"... BONER does.
As of a few hours ago, the deal looked like this:
Quoted Text
Bush tax cuts: The deal would extend all of the Bush tax cuts for incomes below $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for families, while reinstating the Clinton-era 39.6 percent tax rate for income above those thresholds. It will also push the capital gains rate on investment income back to 20 percent for income above $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for families. President Obama had asked for an extension of rates only for incomes below $250,000.
Stimulus tax credits: Three tax credits expanded as part of the stimulus will be extended for one year as part of the compromise. The America’s Opportunity Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit, and Earned Income Tax Credit collectively benefit nearly 20 million Americans each year, and extending them was a priority for Obama and Democrats. Republicans allowed all three to expire in tax legislation earlier this year.
Payroll tax cut: The payroll tax cut would expire as part of this compromise. The payroll tax cut, which benefits all wage-earning workers, is the most damaging piece of the “fiscal cliff” according to the Congressional Budget Office. Republicans have opposed extending the payroll tax cut in the past; many Democrats opposed its extension over fears that it would undermine Social Security, which it helps fund.
Unemployment insurance: The federal unemployment insurance program would be extended for one year under this deal. Without an extension, more than 2 million would lose benefits at the beginning of 2013, while another million would lose them in the early part of the year.
Estate tax: The estate tax was set to revert to its Clinton-era levels, where it was taxed at 55 percent after a $1 million exemption. This deal would set the exemption at $5 million and tax at a 40 percent rate after that — at a cost of $375 billion over 10 years compared to the Clinton level.
Other provisions: The deal would also include a permanent fix to the Alternative Minimum Tax and a one-year “doc fix,” which would prevent cuts in provider payments through Medicare. It also extends certain corporate tax provisions for another year.

Lou Dobbs is not an unbiased party in these talks. He represents the Right Wing view... so when the Right Wing is crashing , Lou tries to spread the blame by implicating the Democrats in the Republican disaster.

Well, according to box, it is being done by "we" the government.
Yea after the spending spree of so called "Conservatives" they now call for spending cuts. The FACTS show that Obama has the lowest spending in decades. Look at the graph... Kind of obvious who the "spenders" are.
