As bees in honey drown…

…Mark Halerpin continues his streak of being wrong on everything, always. Anyway, after reading/listening to the speech (or more likely, after listening to other pundits reaction to the speech, because he’s both lazy and one of the crowd), Halperin’s take-away questions are:
Among the interesting choices [Obama] faces:
- How thoroughly does he embrace the House Republican efforts to delay the debt ceiling showdown for a few months?
- How much does he work with Senate Democrats on a gun control package (both in private and in public)?
- How successfully can he build a quasi-Bush-style business-Hispanic-Democratic-religious-labor coalition on the front end of launching a major immigration reform effort?
- Which Senate Republicans does he try to draw in to working with him on immigration, climate change, and budget cutting?
- At what moment (if ever) does he choose to show his cards on how much entitlement reform (and benefit cutting) he is willing to do, which will bother the left?
- Does he overload the system with climate change, immigration, guns, and budget all at once, or try to sequence them in 2013 so that one gets a fall push as the others pass or fail?
- Does the President’s new Organizing for Action outfit go after some congressional Democrats from the left any time soon?

Did he call Obama a dick again?
I understand tax rates are already at historic lows, thanks in part to our POTUS. Please ask the Villager Idiots like Halpren:
1. At what rates will taxes be acceptable?
2. What scientific evidence do they have for setting tax rates? “If we go over X-percent this will happen. If we go under X-percent this will happen.”
3. Right now Repiglicker’s only argument regarding taxes sounds based on theory or religion, and something that can never be fulfilled. “Lower taxes are better, therefore zero taxes is best.”
4. When all evidence continues to indicate that austerity is damaging many nations, why are they, the Villager Idiots, stsill not looking at stimulus through infrastructure investment?
5. Everything Repiglickin’s believe was proved wrong for all the world to see by the Bush decade. Why would Villager Idiots ask a Repiglickin’ pol or pundit for their opinion about anything ever again?
I got a million of ‘em.
