Obama needs the middle class vote but because of his aggressive financial agenda he is in a bind until his re-election. So he knows the rich will not give him his vote and he has done a good job in disenfranchising them so he kicks the can down the road on the bush tax issue long enough to get voted in (of course by pandering and luring middle class people into believing he cares about them.) Once elected the bush tax cuts are over and new taxes added. and he has once again made rich people villians and he Saint Saviour
If it were otherwise he would have push for a permanent bush era tax cuts.

What amazes me is this guy must believe we all just fell out of tree.
