The Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a liberal group that has repeatedly attacked President Obama on the left, is airing an ad demanding that he not agree to any compromise with the GOP that would extend tax cuts for household incomes above $250,000 a year.
The spot is called "Obama Promised," and the group says it will air on CNN and MSNBC and on Jon Stewart's "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central over the next few days. It shows Obama in 2007 declaring that "we will also allow the temporary Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans to expire."
Text at the end says, "Keep Your Promise. Fight, Don't Cave, On Tax Cuts."
"President Obama made a clear promise during the 2008 election, and our ad reminds him that he has a choice," said Stephanie Taylor, the group's co-founder. "He can keep his promise and make sure that the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share of taxes. Or he can break his promise, add billions to our national debt, and leave his past supporters demoralized by caving to Republicans even when they are clearly wrong. The choice is his."
Meanwhile, Moveon.Org has its own new ad, titled "Obama Back," which in cludes a video montage from Americans all over the country urging the president not to compromise.

Libs love to tax to kill business, it makes the move to Communism easier.
if you think this is fun, wait and see them once he actually caves!
A lot of laws have provisions for time limits. This has been the tax rate for eight years. Lets not let the left call it a tax cut anymore. What Obama is doing is raising taxes. IT IS AN OBAMA TAX HIKE! Plain and simple. Lets all call it that.
Sean got corrected by some lady last night and agrees.
