Obama on tax cuts: Don’t ‘screw this up,’ Washington

President Barack Obama urged Americans on Wednesday to help him pressure Congress to prevent a Jan. 1 tax hike on the middle class, saying it was up to the public to make sure Washington doesn't "screw this up."

"When the American people speak loudly enough, lo and behold Congress listens," Obama said, flanked by Americans who answered the White House's call to detail what that tax increase would cost them personally.

"We really need to get this right. I can only do it with the help of the American people," the president said. "It's too important for Washington to screw this up."

Obama's remarks were part of a ramped-up public campaign to pressure Republicans in Congress, who have resisted his calls for letting Bush-era tax cuts that chiefly benefit the wealthiest Americans expire. The president wants to extend reductions on income up to $200,000 for individuals and $250,000 for families. But he wants taxes above that level to rise in order to spare popular government programs from the budget-cutter's ax.

Obama is apparently the Forrest Gump of this generation.

What an insult to Forrest Gump.

Transitioning from “Bush’s Fault” to “Washington’s Fault” to “GOP’s Fault” to “Your Fault” to “Everyone Else’s Fault but Me.”

The tax cuts are already in place. He’s the one who wants to hike them. He should just leave well enough alone. He’s such an idiot when it comes to fiscal issues.

So, the democrats want to extend the MEAN OLD GEORGE BUSH’S TAX CUTS (on everyone but job creators). The republicans should at least demand they be made permanent. Then they won’t be Bush’s tax cuts anymore.

Obama is apparently the Forrest Gump of this generation. Always there to get the accolades and to witness history, but with no role or responsibility along the way.

Either you never watched the movie or you are an idiot that didn't understnd it. I know of no other options except for leaving off a sarc tag.

Please help us end this FReepathon.
