President Obama will rule out on Wednesday any compromise that would extend the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy beyond this year, officials said, adding a populist twist to an election-season economic package that is otherwise designed to entice support from big businesses and their Republican allies.

Mr. Obamas opposition to allowing the high-end tax cuts to remain in place for even another year or two would be the signal many Congressional Democrats have been awaiting as they prepare for a showdown with Republicans on the issue and ends speculation that the White House might be open to an extension. Democrats say only the president can rally wavering lawmakers who, amid the partys weakened poll numbers, feel increasingly vulnerable to Republican attacks if they let the top rates lapse at the end of this year as scheduled.

Add to that: If you own a car, pay your rent, or otherwise keep up with your bills, and you're not a lifetime member of the Liberal Hollwyood / Washington / Eurotrash / Environmental Elite, congratulations, you're wealthy!
I hate to wish time away but come soon 2012.
uh Bummer people gave you a chance and now see how vile and deceitful you are, campaign mode won’t help you, all your commie friends are going out with you..go away, just go away..
Love that creative headline. Should say “...tax cuts.” The wealthy won’t feel it as much as the rest of us tax payer folk.

They don't call Zer0 Zer0 for nothing. Zero has zero understanding of the Capitalist system. Everything he knows about Communism is make believe designed to take down the Free World during the Cold War.
I wonder who Obama thinks creates jobs in this country? It certainly isn’t the poor! But hey, let’ s soak the rich because that will create more jobs!
I guess there is no one in that loony bin who is smart enough to figure it out! The community organizer certainly isn’t.
Obama throws more of his fellow DemonCrats under the bus...
What I would love to see is every small business owner that earns over $250K fire an employee to make up the personal tax increase...then do a press release stating why that firing occurred. Blame it on Obammy and the Dems.
Good theater.
He is all done.
“If you own a car, pay your rent, or otherwise keep up with your bills, congratulations, you’re wealthy!”
Careful now! Don’t give them any ideals.

“There goes the recovery...”
Dang! I must have missed the recovery during my 15 minute power nap with my head on the keyboard a couple of hours ago.
Punishing the wealthy makes everybody feel so much better about themselves. Doesn’t everybody hate the rich?
Pray for America
A good number of people who will be affected helped put this disasterous poser in the White House.
If it wasn’t a decision that will hurt the country and countless good Americans I would say that it serves them right.
Well still includes me...but for how long...winters coming and that’s going to be a killer on utility bills for everyone. Guy next door moving our because he won’t pay $400 electric bills another winter...for a two bedrom apartment.
Haven't you the time to read?
Based on the tone of his speech yesterday I am convinced he believes it to be true and can't handle that so many disagree so strongly.
Pssst, Obie. Frank lied. It doesn't work...
