The Headlines read; 'End Of Year Action Restores Obama Luster'. Luster for what action and does anyone in America benefit other than Obama?

It seems that the Republicans in the Senate decided to give the President a Christmas present even though he doesn't appear to believe in the religious holidays, which is exactly what Christmas is, it is a celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ in case your parents didn't tell you. Instead of putting up a fierce fight on all issues they appear to have made the usual backroom deals to get the Tax Deal through and in the process let the President have his repeal of don't ask don't tell, I can't say I or many other Americans are overjoyed with this politics as usual, but what's done is done. However this should be the end of the road for this President ramming his socialist policies through and if the Senate doesn't do everything in their power to halt everything until the new Congress is seated after the first of the year they should be made to pay in the upcoming 2012 elections.

Mr. Obama is in the process of cranking up his old election machine that managed to get possibly the most inexperienced and inept politician ever elected to the highest office in the land. He is going to do whatever is necessary to show the people of this country that he has seen the 'light' and has moved to the center much like Mr. Clinton did after his ass kicking when he was in office, even though in a moment of extreme arrogance some months ago telling his opposition to take a 'back seat' and in effect get in line with his wishes.

It is not enough that Omnibus and the Dream Act were stopped. START needs to be redefined so as not to give our enemy, Russia, advantage thanks to the fine work of late great Richard Holbrooke and the Obama administration's goal of getting the treaty pushed through at any cost to America. We have the border issue that should be dealt with in a most draconian fashion, we still have excessive unemployment that the Obama policies have failed to turn around and most importantly Obama Care needs to be repealed in the new year.

I hope the new class of congressmen and Senators hold their ground and stick to their campaign promises that got them elected.
