It's called "triangulation"...

Play both sides against the middle. It worked for Clinton. Never mind that he gave away the store in order to get re-elected. Everybody knows what he signed off on.

Now, it seems this President is trying the same old Clinton trick. It won't fucking work. It is stupid and immoral. Kick the Clintonites out of the back door of the White House, Mr President, and do what the times require. Show a little backbone and don't worry so much about winning the next election.

Clinton did not have the problems that we have now. It's time to take it to the people. Let them decide who is right on the taxcuts. I guarantee you they do not support continuing these taxcuts for millionaires and billionaires. Stop the game playing and start governing.
