The perplexing administration of Barack Obama continues. Polls (all polls, not just some of them) show that the public does not support tax cuts for the upper income brackets (most of the thoughtful wealthy--Gates, Buffet, et al. don't support them either). Despite this, President Obama refused to make the Republicans shut up or put up over this issue, capitulating without even a skirmish. Does he really believe that playing nice with the people who have vowed to make him a one-term president will cause them to change their ways? How naive can an Democratic politician be?
Every Democrat running for office in 2012 would have been overjoyed to paint his Republican opponent as anti-middle class for holding up their tax cuts to make sure that the wealthy got theirs. Instead, now they are going to have to explain a further burgeoning of the deficit. How successful have they been at that so far?
I am completely mystified by the President's behavior. His attack on his allies this week goes beyond the pale. Bring back James Carville.
