When Do Bush's Tax Cuts For The Rich Expire? And What Will Obama Do? ...........
I'm thinking somewhere around the 2010 elections these will expire. I'm sure that was taken into consideration when they were doled out. Will Obama extend them? Will he let them expire? Will he do something completely different?

Inquiring minds want to know.

However Congress may dick with it... not Obama
The article below says they will lapse for the rich, but not the middle class
