The Republican president in 2012 will make them permanent. It's not "playing political games" to insist on one's principles and, honestly, do what's best for the Country. Even so, calling Obama "the worst President ever" is gratuitously and recklessly short-sighted. "Most disappointing President in my lifetime" is right on.</div></blockquote>

	I'm not seeing the leverage.  If he doesn't compromise on the tax cut extension he doesn't get the unemployment extension.  Period.  And while he may have been able to make some political noise over the Republicans abusing the unemployed, we would still have millions of people with no benefits.  The unemployment money is also a real stimulus fund, so it is important on multiple levels.<br />

	Obama has a way to go before he can wrestle the "Most disappointing" title away from Clinton.  But I'd take either one of them on their worst day over Reagan or either Bush on their best days.
