Midknight Review -- new and revised: Turns out Obama made the deal with the GOP without consulting his Democrat leadership.

Pictured left and we do mean Left is Steny Hoyer, the #2 Democrat in the House. This afternoon, he expressed disappointment in Obama's decision to compromise with the GOP, voicing an opinion that the House was more or less left out of the negotiations. Nancy Pelosi told the press that Democrats did not know that a deal had been made.

FoxNews reported, yesterday, that Obama was to have met with Democrat leadership last evening with an announcement coming today. Indeed, if this report is factual, the Dems were left out of the negotiations.

In his press conference, today, a somber Barack Obama called the Republicans "hostage takers" and many believe that he typified Democrat objectors as arrogant and self-serving with some of his televised comments.

What is the chance that this deal will pass through both houses of congress? That seems to be the question everyone is asking.

Quite frankly, we do not see how it will not pass after all the huffing and puffing dies down. We say that despite the admitted socialist, Bernie Sanders, and his promise to use the filibuster to stop this legislation. Funny, just months ago, the Democrat congress was hoping to pass legislation that would eliminate the filibuster. Now, suddenly, they think filibuster is a good thing.

Back to the point at hand and the point is ? The Dems have run out of time. In three weeks, millions will pay a high cost for a Democrat refusal to support Obama's deal. This is a fight they should have waged last year, 2009, when they had full control of both houses of congress. Their lack of priorities has finally come back to haunt the Dems and to challenge the sensibilities of their 2009 agenda.

Understand that the GOP has "worked with the leader of the Democrat party" to get something done. If members of his own party refuse to go along with the deal, it is they, the Dems, who will be blamed for the grief that is about to happen to the middle class.

Democrat leadership has spent the past month denying the butt-kicking they received on November 2. Today, Pearl Harbor Day, they have come face to face with the results of the past election. Suddenly, they have been made to realize that the days of cramdown legislation and their disgraceful misuse of congressional power are over, at least for a time.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
