Obama Set to Battle Nancy Pelosi on Tax Cuts
President Barack Obama is willing to put his foot down and show he is the boss in Washington, D.C., much to the dismay or House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Obama is standing up to Pelosi’s wish to repeal the Bush tax cuts for American’s making more than $250,000 that are set to expire in 2010.
Pelosi, who as speaker is the top figure in the House leadership, said Sunday she wants Congress to consider repealing President Bush’s tax cuts on those who make more than $250,000 well before they expire at the end of 2010. Obama had promised to repeal the tax cuts as well during the presidential campaign, but he has since backed off that pledge, signaling he would be willing to simply let them expire.
Let the infighting begin!

Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich, in another attempt to appear relevant, has introduced 35 articles of impeachment against President George W. Bush.
Kucinich and other liberal Democrats, including Rep. Robert Wexler (D-Fla.), have sought the removal of the current administration, arguing that Bush and Cheney have lied to Congress and the American public about the reasons for invading Iraq in 2003 and abused their offices in order to conduct the “War on Terror” following the 9/11 attacks.
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats are unlikely to impeach President Bush. Many democrats believe it would divide the party. Also, Bush leaves office in less than eight months.
If Kucinich and Ron Paul were to fight in a Mixed Martial Arts bout who would win?
