The PI.com has a good summary of the open rebellion by house Democrats against President Obama's compromise on the Bush tax cuts, highlighting angry statements by Washington Reps. Jay Inslee and Jim McDermott.

Inslee, seen as a possible Democratic candidate for governor in 2012, singled out a provision that would extend Bush-era tax cuts to those making more than $250,000 a year. He described Republicans as "hostage takers" holding up Congress' business on behalf of high-income earners.

"Tax cut bonuses for millionaires and billionaires will greatly expand the deficit, undermines the values of working and middle class families, and continues the failed Bush economic policy," said the 1st District congressman.

McDermott, who represents most of Seattle in Congress, described the tax cut deal as Obama's "Gettysburg."

On the senate side, where Democrats are also angry, we're still waiting to hear from longtime Obama adversary, Sen. Maria Cantwell
