More Dems voted for tax cut extension this time than Republicans did last time

The Mighty One sure has fallen hasn't he?  I love the smell of tax cuts in the morning, it smells of capitulation.

Bush in toto. Not just the income tax rates, either, but also the capital-gains tax rates that Obama insisted on raising during the 2008 campaign to either 20% or 28%. In the end, those tax rates got more votes last night in a Democratic-controlled House (277) than they did in the GOP-controlled House in 2001 (230), and more Democrats voted to extend them than Republicans, 139-138. If that’s a victory for Obama, may the next two years be filled with such victories.”
