Why is our dimwit and chief complaining he needs tax increases?!? He already has them, or was he asleep at the wheel when he signed the extension of "W's" tax cuts that expire 12/31/2012. He has what he wants, tax increases, end of story. Tax code for 01/01/2013 and beyond can be worked on separate from the debit ceiling and spending cuts. As for the Republicans that haven't pointed this out... well DUH!

He has the bully pulpit and he is using it to the max. The dimocrats have put forth no plan. Nothing. They seem to enjoy negotiating from a jello TV verbal position. Why is Obama Whinning about Tax Increases?!? Because it is a diversion so their real record of failure is not the topic of discussion.
