"Screwed again". The rich get richer. Obama rolls over for Republicans.

Obama is set to sign a bill to keep giving the wealthiest two percent of the USA a huge Bush gift while the middle class suffers. The deficit just took another hit. Oh, if you're unemployed, Obama will keep your cheques coming. But if you're working and poor, you just got played suckas.

Earlier in the evening, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) made a concession to Republicans when he gave up on an omnibus spending bill that would have funded Democratic spending priorities for the next year. Instead, Reid announced the Senate will pass a continuing resolution to fund the government for 45 days, meaning Republicans will have further opportunities to push for cuts in the near future.
Debate over extending the tax cuts will now take place in 2012, when Obama, all House members and some senators are up for reelection.
HuffPost asked Wu -- who pushed for the unemployment extension to last as long as the tax cuts extension -- for his final thought on the bill as he went down a flight of stairs just off the House floor. He paused for several moments before delivering his answer: "Screwed again."

Expect Obama and co. to come out in the next few days and tell you that you're dirty fucking hippies and you do not amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Then he'll put out his cigarette on your palm and tell you it's for your own good. Thank you, Mr. Obama.

I've said it before and I will say it again, we as progressives are righteously screwed. It's over.
