PRESIDENT OBAMA SIGNS MIDDLE CLASS TAX CUT BILL

After weeks of compromise between both bodies of Congress, the president has signed in to law the Middle Class Tax Relief Act of 2010 (H.R. 4853), extending the Bush-era tax cuts for two years and unemployment insurance benefits for jobless Americans for 13 months.

Despite opposition from some Democrats, the House worked late into the evening Thursday, passing it by a vote of 277-148.


House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) vowed to push for a bill next year that would fund the government at 2008 levels during a press conference held earlier todaye praised the Senate for dropping plans last night to pass a package of spending bills, known as the omnibus. The incoming House Speaker also talks about the Republican majority’s agenda for the 112th Congress and other economic measures.

AP reports:
Secret Service personnel remove Brenda Lee from near Air Force One after Lee attempted to give President Obama a letter. A reporter for a small newspaper was forcibly removed from a press area near Air Force One shortly before President Barack Obama arrived at Los Angeles International Airport to depart California early Thursday.

Secret Service personnel remove Brenda Lee from near Air Force One after Lee attempted to give President Obama a letter, Thursday May 28, 2009, at LAX. Airport security officers carried the woman away by the feet and arms as she protested her removal.

She later identified herself as Brenda Lee, a writer for the Georgia Informer in Macon and said she has White House press credentials. Lee said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press that she wanted to hand Obama a letter urging him “to take a stand for traditional marriage.”

She said she asked a Secret Service agent to give the president her letter, but he refused and referred her to a White House staffer. Lee said she refused to give the staffer the letter. “I said, ‘I’ll take my chances if (the president) comes by here,’” said Lee.
