A Deal for Obama

[Landslide Lyndon]

An intriguing suggestion by David Frum. Too bad that McConnell and the rest of the Republican gang aren't as interested in governing as him.

What if Mitch McConnell promised President Obama an immediate up-or-down vote on any/all executive and judicial nominees in the next 2 years in exchange for extending all the Bush tax cuts for 2 years?

The Dems have already agreed to a 2 year extention of the highest bracket and a permanent extension for all other brackets, so this "deal" doesn't give the GOP anything they don't already have.

Is that the latest rumor at Belevue?

David Frum proves yet again that he's one of the biggest idiots around.

As opposed to geniuses like Glenn Beck and Mark Levin.

Look, there is a 99% chance that the Bush tax cuts will be made permanent for those under $250k/year, and the tax cuts for those over $250k/year will be extended for 2 years.  Many of the Dem Senators running for reelection in 2012 have already signaled agreement to this.

It's a done deal. 

Even if Reid brings such a bill to the floor (highly unlikely), Obama has hinted that he will veto it.
A large majority of voters oppose the millionaires tax cuts, so it would be a good first chance to start differentiating himself from the Republican congress.

And stop impersonating Sam Spade by pretending to know more things than you actually do.
