Obama pretty much lost me over this one. Not only was letting the cut expire the right thing to do for the country, it was the right thing to do politically. In two years the deficit is going to be huge, and who do you think the Republicans will blame?

You got it.... Obama and the tax and spend Dems.

I have to agree with you. He's in a bad spot....trying to do what's right for the country while fighting a group that operates one level above terrorists. My major gripe is his negotiating style....he gives in way too easily IMO.

Something I didn't know:

"Ezra Klein confirmed that Obama and Pelosi asked Reid to bring up the Vote on the tax cuts before the midterms. Reid refused because Murray and Boxer didn't want to be on record voting for tax raises during their re-election."
