Equating payroll taxes with capital gains taxes is politically expedient but misleading. Why doesn't he try saying what he means.

I guess we just have to wait to see what the Republican controlled Congress says, but it's not a sure thing the Democrat Senate would vote for this.

(When I first saw this thread, the thing that came to my mind was "1600 Pennsylvania Ave")
Great post and points to consider. Why some have to turn every tread into an I hate Obama post is so childish. He is in the WH so get over it already. Thanks for adding focus to the thread Richie. I also wait to see what Boehner counters with and I hope its not simply an Obama slam. We have so many adult problems and so many mindless and needless comments that add nothing to the discussions.
