Progressives pressure Obama on upper-income tax cuts
Source: Politico

Progressive Change Campaign Committee has a new ad pressuring President Obama on the pending tax cuts debate, using footage of him in Iowa in 2007 promising to let them expire on the wealthiest Americans. The ad also features footage of Speaker-designate John Boehner agreeing to vote for a package that let upper income tax cuts expire if that was his only option.

The ad will air on cable in Washington for one week, but the committee may extend the ad buy if they raise additional funds from their campaign.

4. ...but...but...we have to COMPROMISE...
Instead of buying all of this ad time, we should just buy Obama a dictionary so he can see that the definition of compromise is not "give Republicans everything they want for nothing in return".
