You are lying.

Here are the facts that prove I am not :

Obama Signs Bill To Extend Bush Tax Cuts - Political Hotsheet ...

Dude he had no choice:

"The vote is likely largely symbolic, since the bill is unlikely to get the 60 votes it needs to break a GOP filibuster in the Senate.

The Obama administration and Congressional leaders are now in negotiations on crafting a compromise between the White House position that the cuts not be extended for incomes above the $250,000 threshold for families (or $200,000 for individuals) and the Republican position that they be extended for all Americans."

Obama agreed to let the Bush tax cuts get extended because he could not break the Senate Republican filibuster. He also wanted to extend unemployment benefits which Rs finally agreed to so long as the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy were extended.

So there you have it........a lot of nothing. If the wealthy tax cuts no longer belong to Bush, then they belong to the GOP. They are all yours.

To say otherwise is tantamount to being a liar.
