See the interview with Maria Maria Bartiromo above...

Whatcha think?

Clinton say's he doesn't want to make the Bush tax cuts permanent, but says Obama should extend them again, to then tackle them again after the election.

Nope. No more kicking the can for political expediency. Sounds like Clinton actually really wants Obama to extend them now, and leaving it open for Romney to keep them later if he wins. Obama needs to kill this vampire now. If Obama once again doesn't have the balls to kill the Bush Tax cuts, then I have no problem with him losing and becoming a one term President.

Wow! Coming from someone who has an Obama logo as their avatar, that's prettty strong.

Well, i hope he be as strong as Press Secretary Jay Carney on the Bush tax cuts:

"We should not extend—and he will not extend—the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of the American people. It's bad policy, it's bad for the economy, it's bad for our fiscal picture," spokesman Jay Carney told reporters aboard Air Force One.

Asked whether that applied to a short-term extension, Carney did not hide his irritation: "He will not—could I be more clear?—he will not support extension of the upper-income Bush tax cuts."

BTW, I agree with Violetblues. Obama has folded on a lot of things. If he doesn't have the balls to stay true to his convictions, to his beliefs on fiscal responsibility, to keep the major promises that got him elected, he doesn't deserve a second term.
