His loony base will go nuts if he doesn’t let the Bush Tax Cuts expire....
Pelosi has already said they (both chambers of Congress) will let the Bush tax cuts expire.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but Obama cannot unilaterally pick-and-choose what items he will allow to expire or not... this will require congressional action, correct? Pelosi can get the House to do whatever she wants; the Senate is an entirely different matter just prior to the elections.... in fact, the insistence by the RATS to allow the tax cuts to expire is going to be a huge political weapon for the GOP this fall... the middle class has not even begun to focus on this, which is going to make the August Town Halls look like a picnic...
