The income tax outcome will show us how Obama will handle the next two years

[KansasVoter]

If we cave on tax cuts to the rich it will be a long two years.

1. And he will be a 1 term President

If he can't toe the line here...

[treestar]

2. No reason to set up this false dilemma

We're stuck with the rich tax cuts. Elections have consequences.

[KansasVoter]

4. Are you serious? Wow, they got their way quick with you!

[treestar]

7. How smart would it be to give up the middle class tax cuts

they get their way because they won. They will not pass a bill without the rich tax cuts.

They won. You mean even after getting the Republican congress the progressives are going to call us "weak" and all that crap when the Republican Congress won't pass what we want? Really?

[SunsetDreams]

8. yeah blame democrats no matter who is in power

It's a good thing there is that veto pen.

[DrDan]

3. it will be just an extension - for a year or so . . . so it will be hard to read what the real

intentions are

[KansasVoter]

5. Why extend them for the rich???

[LiberalArkie]

6. Because they won the election

[Kltpzyxm]

9. They won the election

means they get everything they want even though we still have the Senate?

That's crazy.

We won everything in 2008 and got jack shit.
