Go ahead and veto it. This is a political football and you should take the blame.
The “rich” currently pay 86% of federal income taxes. Yet, Mr. Obama and the counter productive citizens who vote for him, and pay NO federal taxes, think the “rich” aren’t paying “their fair share.” Whatever that is.
Putz.

Let’s see the GOP “Man Up” and prove their worth.
“Freed from the political and economic constraints that have tied his hands in the past, Obama is ready to play hardball with Republicans, who have so far successfully resisted a deal to tame the debt that includes higher taxes, Obama’s allies say. “
exactly how will he be freed from these constraints???
Over the cliff we go!
Unfortunately, this bill will come to his desk AFTER election, when he shall have nothing to lose, regardless of how the election goes.
He will veto the bill, if one even gets to his desk, and precipitate the nightmare scenario of “over the cliff”.
This action will make whatever distressed economic outlook he inherited from Bush in 2008 seem to be almost benign.
“Tax hike for rich”. This Democrat war cry is simply division of voters, rallying people against the rich. There is no significant deficit reduction in raising taxes on the rich. I wanted Romney to bring this up in the last debate. He should have called this idea what it really is.
Oh yeh, I forgot that we are now in a recovery. So a recession would be really bad.
Reporters must be unable to read and write English.
If Obama dictates the terms, the deal (by definition) cannot be bipartisan.
Maybe a Constitutional amendment to restrict changes in Taxes and Fees to every 8 years within a window of two to three months before the Congressional and presidential elections.
Romney needs to EXPLAIN how taxes CURRENTLY affect the wealthy.. GIVE US A DOLLAR AMOUNT, MITT!! Tell us how much YOU paid in taxes, like $3.2 MILLION in 2011!! This is the only way some Americans will understand it. Some wealthy folks pay MILLIONS in taxes. 0bama talks this issue up like they don’t pay ANYTHING compared to the Middle Class. RIDICULOUS!
The demise of America as we know it is precisely what the Kenyan wants. After he loses on Nov 6 he’s going to take a flamethrower to everything and anything. Romney will inherit an even greater mess to put back together. Guess what? He’ll pull it off.
That comma should be a period.
Anything past the comma is Obama having a temper tantrum.
But don't worry, OTrauma. With any luck, Mitt will fix it when your sorry ass is escorted off the property.
Boehner, man up and call his bluff.
WAHHH! You won't do what I want, so I won't let you do NOTHIN'!
Not to mention the 'fiscal cliff'.... since he's the One who built that!!!

Ugh! The Petulant President.
