No, this article is about how he went about this and lied his ass off to fellow dems to save his own ass an leave them out in the cold.
Again - they had TWO YEARS to deal with this. Why did he and the dems wait till the 11th hour?
Personally, this deal isa pile of shit. It started outok, but has morphed into another big govt boondagle.
They waited, because they wanted to use the old
GOP-just-wants-tax-cuts-for-the-rich routine during midterms. That plan BACKFIRED, as the Republicans ran on extending the Bush tax cuts for all and WON.
Now, the Dems are between that rock and a hard place. Either they extend the Bush tax cuts (and try to squeeze as much swine as possible) or have the GOP-run Congress do it (perhaps for much longer than two years). If the latter happens, the American people will suffer with higher taxes to the point where they'll cry for Obama's head, unless he signs the GOP's bill.
