Cenk was accusing Obama of not listening to Progressives. John "pointed out" that Obama wanted a vote even BEFORE the election which would've extended the tax cuts for the middle class and let those for the rich expire, but those in his own party didn't buy it (his constant campaigning on this), wouldn't bring it up for a vote in the Senate, and they're still against it.

He simply DOESN'T HAVE THE VOTES to pass an extension of tax cuts for the middle class only, so he's trying for the best he CAN get-permanent tax cuts for the middle class and a temporary tax cut for the rich.
