Nancy Pelosi is the only person who can stop the extension of the Bush tax cuts. While most Senate Democrats voted in favor of the bill, the House is still deliberating. Obama is convinced that the middle class will emerge victorious, but the last 10 years of these tax cuts have proved otherwise.

1. Obama "sales job"

Dec. 10 on NPR

INSKEEP: Let me ask you about something that we heard from one of our listeners... The question that we got was: "Please ask him how keeping the tax rate for the richest the same as it has been for a decade creates one single job."

OBAMA: It doesn't, which is why I was opposed to it -- and I'm still opposed to it

2. Obama is opposed to it yet he is supporting it.

Yes, war is peace.

5. Find me one quote where Obama says he supports 2% tax cuts part of the deal

If Reid could have passed a middle-class only tax cut in the Senate, then that is what we would have. Senate could not do that. You know that as well as I do.

9. Obama did a poor job packaging this.

The tax cuts should just have been allowed to expire.

Unemployment could have been placed on an emergency bill.

It's a no-brainer.

3. So Obama is opposed to his own tax cuts for the rich?

Does that make him a sanctimonious purist?

[emulatorloo]

4. They aren't his tax cuts they are what the Republicans insisted on

Senate tried to pass middle class only tax cuts a Saturday or two ago, They could not pass it, they do not have the votes. You remember that as well as I do.

[niceypoo]

6. Once they become law, they become Obama's tax cuts for the rich

He is taking ownership of the core GOP failure.

[emulatorloo]

7. Do the other parts become property of the Republicans?

Actually I think they do, there is a lot of bitching from Palin, Limbaugh, Romney that McConnell gave to much to Obama

[niceypoo]

8. No, because they have Obama on the defensive

Which is what happens when you dont fight back
