Extending the Bush tax cuts, which Congress punted into the lame duck session, present his first post-election test. Obama adviser David Axelrod told the Huffington Post that his boss is willing to extend, albeit temporarily, those cuts for everyone--including the so-called rich. Many of those "rich" are small business owners who create most of our new jobs.
But the Wall Street Journal is reporting that his left-wing friends don't want Obama to do that--unless he gets concessions from the GOP. And the White House is claiming Obama's tax cut position hasn't changed.
It will be an interesting fight.
By the way, it's time that Obama realizes that he's president of all of America, not just liberal ones.
