House rejects two-month extension of payroll tax cut
WASHINGTON -- The US House of Representatives voted Tuesday to scuttle a deal brokered in the Senate to extend the payroll tax holiday and federal unemployment insurance for two months.
In rejecting the plan, the House voted 229-193 to dismiss the Senate bill and called on Senate leaders to start negotiating a new full-year package with the House.
"Middle-class Americans and working families need to know that their taxes won't be going up at any point next year," House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) said on the House floor Tuesday.
Democrats criticized the House vote as procedural chicanery. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Republicans were coming up with "excuses" to avoid a direct vote on the two-month tax break.

After House Vote on Payroll Tax Cut, Obama Demands GOP Give In
quote:
WASHINGTON – In a surprise visit to the White House briefing room to demand House Republicans compromise on a two-month payroll tax cut extension -- a demand that was promptly rejected -- President Obama said Tuesday that the Senate legislation "is the only viable way to prevent a tax hike on January 1st."
"It's the only one," Obama said shortly after the House voted to effectively reject a Senate measure to extend the payroll tax cut for two months.

quote:WATCH: Bill Clinton: Why yes, the media did favor Obama over Hillary three years ago
By PATRICK H. CADDELL and DOUGLAS E. SCHOEN | 12/18/11 10:15 PM EST
We argued in a recent Wall Street Journal op-ed piece that President Barack Obama should stand down and let Secretary of State Hillary Clinton run as the Democratic presidential nominee in 2012.
We are now calling on Democratic voters nationally — particularly in New Hampshire — to organize a write-in campaign for Clinton. This is something that New Hampshire voters have a long history of doing.
We advocate this Draft Hillary movement not because of the desire to make political mischief — but to put the country on the right course.

She was entreated to deliver a ten minute-long speech which-if the consequences were not so grave-would have been jaw-droppingly hilarious.

A conservative congressman is taking action to ensure that Christmas is safe in the public arena.
Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-Colorado), a member of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, has 30 co-sponsors for his H.R. 489, a resolution to respond to those around the country who want to steal Christmas from Christians.
The measure specifically points out that the House of Representatives recognizes the importance of the symbols and traditions of Christmas, strongly disapproves of attempts to ban references to Christmas, and expresses support for the use of these symbols and traditions by those who celebrate Christmas.

Hanukkah 2011: Miracles Past and Present
quote:WSJ warns House Republicans of “fiasco” on payroll tax holiday stand
The word Hanukah means “rededication “and celebrates Jewish heroes who rededicated themselves to faith and principles in spite of a wicked king and faithless coreligionists who worshipped Hellenist idols.
quote:
Reminding House Republicans of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s pledge that his main objective in 2011-2 is to keep Barack Obama from winning re-election, the Wall Street Journal wonders, er, what the hell the House GOP sees as its main objective. Having turned the payroll tax holiday extension into a “fiasco” is bad enough the WSJ says, but making it a pointless fiasco feeds the notion that Obama is the only adult in the room:
The GOP leaders have somehow managed the remarkable feat of being blamed for opposing a one-year extension of a tax holiday that they are surely going to pass. This is no easy double play.
Republicans have also achieved the small miracle of letting Mr.bama position himself as an election-year tax cutter, although he’s spent most of his Presidency promoting tax increases and he would hit the economy with one of the largest tax increases ever in 2013. This should be impossible.
