Reply #48: This thread is about the position he'll take in 2012, not about 2010

"If his position is to end Bush's tax cuts, then he'll be branded a flip-flopper by the repukes and many Independents."

Just the opposite is happening. Independents are turning favorably since the 'compromise' occurred. See Gallup.

That may be what's happening now. When he's forced to take a solid position on the same tax issue in a year and a half, he's going to be caught between a rock and a hard place. Don't you ever care to look ahead?

I know you'd LIKE it to be a negative, but the tax 'compromise' was a huge win for Obama.

I don't mind you making it personal, but I don't appreciate it when you lie about me. I do not "LIKE it to be a negative." I don't like it because it IS a negative. I think it's bad for the future well-being of our country because we can't afford Bush's obscene cuts any longer, but all you seem to care about is that Gallup says people are glad for the compromise. Well you and Gallup may be glad about the rich continuing to strangle this country of its last financial breath, but I'm not. Some of you cheerleaders need to peer through your pom poms and show some concern for the future, or we're gonna end up with a Republican president. You should be glad there are some people who are concerned enough to start preparing now for a tough position Obama is going to have to take on an issue that always hurts us in elections. I'd rather start figuring it out now, but go ahead and sit back with your complacent attitude that the election in 2012 is a lock because Gallup says some Independents are happy with the compromise now.
