The rich folks running the media do not want Bush Taxes to Expire! They will fight this!

[FrenchieCat]

Get ready to rumble......cause they will die fighting this.

Watch for it tomorrow.
That's when they will start disconstructing our President.

They will start with the fact that getting out of Iraq may take 19 months instead of 16.
The media will try to get Obama's base who are against the Iraq war to turn on him for the 3 months differential....and 50,000 vs. 30,000 remaining troops, although it hasn't even been announced yet.

1. I bet you dollars to donuts it doesn't matter. He's got the American people in his pocket.

and they can scream all they want, but those tax cuts are happening. It'll be dejavu all over again as in 93. He did a nice job of preempting them by telling people what 'some are gonna start saying about these tax cuts expiring.'

It worked great in his campaigns as he warned how people would attack him and thus mitigated the strength of those attacks. Hang on, you stupid corporatist TV sluts, you're going to pay like the rest of us.

2. John Fund is already on C-Span spewing shit.

I don't think they'll go after the tax issue itself, but work around the edges on everything else instead.

3. Obama will just keep making appearances with reg'lr folks answering reg'lr questions

and smiling his sunny, optimistic smile. Here's the deal. Go look at the magazine shelves of your local bookstore. It's almost all Barack and Michelle. I actually saw him on the cover of Wine Spectator magazine. So yeah....they can bray and whine all they want, but this president is just gettin' warmed up.

4. Its a winning strategy

Bypass the corporate media as best he can. Turn blowhards like Rush and Santelli into the perfect foils.
