An administration official told the Washington Times that the White House is “hosting more than 25 holiday parties this month.” The White House said the Obamas were hosting parties for “volunteers, members of Congress, White House staff, Secret Service personnel, White House reporters and Americans from across the country.”

Anyone who thinks Obummer is the least bit interested in stopping the huge tax hikes is just crazy.
Disappointing - but not surprising!
this week his schedule was empty...every damn day.
Although they're getting no credit for it, the Republican congressional leadership actually has moved a far piece from the "no new taxes" pledge that had been its line in the sand prior to the election.
Those leaders have agreed to raise more than $800 billion in new revenue by closing tax loopholes and eliminating deductions for higher-income earners. That's the amount Obama said he wanted to extract from the wealthy during the campaign.
The GOP also has expressed a willingness to put defense spending cuts on the table as part of the overall deficit-reduction package.
Both positions have brought the leaders harsh criticism from within their own ranks. But they recognize that in winning re-election, Obama gained bargaining clout.
The president, though, is taking the stance that victory means he doesn't have to bargain at all.
His counter to the Republican concessions is to move sharply away from the middle. Obama now wants twice the amount of new taxes from the wealthy $1.6 trillion and instead of spending cuts, he's asking for $50 billion for another stimulus package.
His only concession is a vague commitment to discuss $400 million in entitlement reforms, but only after the tax hikes are in place.
Obama is one brilliant man. His plan is to cut the debt by 600 billion but increase spending by 1.2 trillion.
Being Gay in the 21st Century and as a Leader of the Free World is hard work for Obama. Give him a break man!
