Obama's Lame Duck To Do List: Taxes, job insurance, START, DADT, DREAM Act

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs at the Monday briefing provided a partial list of what President Obama will try to do in the lame duck session--while Democrats still have control of the House and more Democrats in the Senate.

The Obama to do list:

Taxes.... the Bush era income tax cuts expire at the end of the year. Obama wants to extend them for earners of above $250,000

Unemployment insurance.....Congress needs to act by Nov. 30 for an extension of benefits

START Treaty.....dealing with nuclear weapons

Don't Ask, Don't Tell ....legislation dealing with letting openly gay soldiers serve in the military....

DREAM Act ...an immigration measure to provide a path for students in the U.S. illegally to stay in the country

Only good explanation for that is america invented time travel.

This is great news. We have enough time for all of them.

Why do people say that this guy is optimistic, he is just wasting everybody's time with his idiotic posts!! Be quiet and let the adults do the talking!!!

Well, realistically these bills would not have came up if it was not possible.

That's the dumbest thing you have ever posted. Just stop with this useless gimmick you have going and stop wasting everybody's time.
