Lesson, NOT learned.

Republicans want to make it easier for government contractors to evade taxes.

Republicans have identified one piece of Obama's jobs bill they can all support: a measure that repeals a law meant to prevent government contractors from skimping on their taxes. The so-called "three percent withholding rule is a Bush-era law that once had bipartisan support but Republicans now overwhelmingly oppose. It requires the federal government to husband three percent of significant government contracts until the contractors demonstrate compliance with the tax code.

Which is not news. But THIS is.

Obama included the measure in part to attract Republican support for the whole bill -- now they're using it as a political weapon against the rest of the package.

Obama WHAT? *splutter* *choke*

You mean... in this bill... in this 2012-campaign-starting, Republicans-go-to-hell bill... Obama was still trying to make friends and play nice with the Republicans?

You mean, even now, he hasn't figured out that the only thing any Republican would vote to support, if Obama wrote it, would be his own resignation?

What an absolute. Useless. Twit.
