The strategy explained:By extending the tax cuts for the rich, in two more years they will be even richer - which will heighten the contradictions - making the Democrats' charge that "Republicans are defenders of the rich" all that more potent.

But what is unsafe about doing business in America today, as compared, say, to the Bush/Cheney 8 years that preceded the election of America's first African-American President? Perhaps doing away with minimum wages, like before the Civil War Amendments?
obama used to have a line in his speeches during the presidential campaign about how leadership meant doing the hard thing and not kicking can down the road.
ah, good times.
