President Barack Hussein Obama did something yesterday that he hasn’t done that often since ascending to the Throne of the Regime two years ago.

 No, not act presidential. We’re still waiting on that. 

He held a Press Conference,, trying to defend his proposed Tax Cut Compromise in the face of growing opposition for his Nutroot base and the Democrat Party.

While many Republican Party Leaders seem to be fine with the proposed framework of a deal, if is not known how many Democrats will join them. Especially in the House of Representatives, where San Fran Nan continues to pound her mighty gavel.

Democrats are crushed that Scooter has gone back on his promise to do away with the Tax Cuts for the “Wealthy”.

You remember them, the people who actually hire Americans?

Still looking like he had swallowed a big mouthful of yellow Triaminic cough syrup, Obama tried to explain to the Far Left what his rationale was in proposing the compromise.

During the 35 minute speech, he called those Libs seeking ideological purity sanctimonious.

And, how is your view from that Glass House, Mr. President?

All in all, officials said, the plan could increase federal borrowing by $900 billion.

The lower estate tax emerged as the biggest obstacle among many House Democrats. Pelosi called it “a bridge too far.”

If the tax cuts are not retained, Americans will face the biggest tax hike in our history, beginning on January 1, 2011.

Democrats, while living in their parallel universe, have dropped hints that they wanted more concessions thrown their way before they would act to complete the deal.

According to Senator Harry Reid:

We’re going to have to do some more work.

Rep. Anthony Weiner doesn’t like it at all:

I don’t think that the president should count on Democratic votes to get this deal passed. It’s a bad deal that wasn’t skillfully negotiated.

Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., chimed in:

It seems to me this Congress should not be adding substantially to the deficit.

According to Democratic staff members, more than half of House Democrats are opposed to the compromise plan.

Lib heads are exploding all over the place.   AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said:

It lauds the tax cuts for the top 2 percent with an indefensible cut in the estate tax — giving yet another bonus to the super-rich. It is unconscionable that the price of support for struggling middle class families and workers who have been unable to find jobs for months and months and months is yet more giveaways for our country’s wealthiest families.

The Soros-funded group MoveOn said its 5 million members oppose the tax plan:

The president’s commitment to bipartisanship should not mean leaving principles behind.

Principles?  That’s pretty funny, considering the source and it’s covert mission and funding.

Per discoverthenetworks.org:

Today, MoveOn boasts an e-mail list of more than 3.2 million members. Its ten full-time staffers work from home, staying in touch via e-mail, instant messaging and weekly conference calls.

MoveOn uses its fundraising clout to push the Democratic Party to the left. This game plan was enunciated most clearly in an e-mail that MoveOn PAC Director Eli Pariser broadcast to the group’s financial supporters on December 9, 2004. Regarding MoveOn’s role in the Democratic Party, Pariser wrote, “For years, the party has been led by elite Washington insiders who are closer to corporate lobbyists than they are to the Democratic base. But we can’t afford four more years of leadership by a consulting class of professional election losers. In the last year, grass-roots contributors like us gave more than $300 million to the Kerry campaign and the DNC, and proved that the party doesn’t need corporate cash to be competitive. Now it’s our party: we bought it, we own it, and we’re going to take it back.”

…MoveOn has received financial support from numerous leftist organizations, including the Tides Foundation, the Shefa Fund, the Stern Family Fund, the Steven and Michelle Kirsch Foundation, the Compton Foundation, and George Soros’s Open Society Institute. Following a September 17, 2003 meeting between Soros and Boyd in New York, Soros and his associates gave nearly $6.2 million to MoveOn over a period of six months. The contributions included $2.5 million from George Soros personally; $2.5 million from Peter B. Lewis of Progressive Insurance; $971,427 from Stephen Bing of Shangri-La Entertainment; $100,000 from Benson & Hedges tobacco heir Lewis Cullman; and $101,000 from Soros’ 34-year-old son Jonathan Soros, an attorney and financier recently promoted to deputy manager of Soros Fund Management LLC.

As I stated yesterday, it appears that, by presenting this compromise, Obama is trying to expand his voter base beyond the 35 year old Jack Black lookalikes posting liberal Bogs from their Mom’s basement.

His problem is, that after two years of cramming his own socialist ideology down Americans’ throats, for him to unveil this tax cut compromise at the ninth hour, appears to be an act of desperation.  Conservatives and Independents don’t trust him.  And the people who have built him up as  their messiah, the Nutroot base and his own political party, are grief-stricken and disillusioned to the point of near-riotous anger.

Sho’ ’nuff hate it for them.  Pass the popcorn.
