There's been a lot of debate about will Obama, can Obama get just the middle class tax cut through without also giving up the additional tax cut on income above $250k.
Politically, the idea's a winner right now. 53% of Americans support the idea. Only 25% of independents want tax cuts for all, while 47% support the President's plan and 17% say get rid of them all (11% don't know).
However, after this weekend's vote, I think the writing is on the wall: the rich will get their tax cuts. It's completely unavoidable. The question is whether the Democrats will get something in return.
