Obama did not agree to anything. He is the POTUS isnt he ? He shoved Obamacare down out throats without one GOP vote didnt he ? So now your claiming he was forced to sign a bill by the minority party ? BS. Your tax cuts on the rich crap is history Ted. You can confiscate all the money from all the billionaires and it wont cover a tenth of the debt Obama has created. We are looking at taxing your great grandchildren to cover what has happened from Clinton thru Obama and O has spent more in 2 years than all of them combined. Deal with it.

He could have done nothing and the 'Bush tax cuts' would have expired. Instead he chose to extend them.

CNNMoney confirms 85% of 'tax cuts' NOT for the "rich": Bush tax cuts: $544.3 billion. The package would extend the Bush tax cuts for everyone for two years. The bulk of that cost -- $463 billion -- is for the extension of cuts for families making less than $250,000, including two years of relief for 2010 and 2011 for the middle class from the Alternative Minimum Tax. The rest -- $81.5 billion -- is attributable to the extension of cuts that apply to the highest income families. money.cnn.com Now compare that $81.5B (a two year total) to the current annual budget deficit.
