Really?

I hope this is just a negotiation thing:

“I’m pretty confident that Republicans would not hold middle class taxes hostage to trying to protect tax cuts for high-income individuals.” – Barack Obama

…are you kidding me? That’s exactly what’s happening! If we all agreed on middle class tax rates and Rs didn’t want to hold them hostage for the high end rates, then we would’ve just extended the middle class rates and then moved on to the next thing. No fiscal cliff.

But instead congress has taken itself hostage and is threatening to shoot the country.
