Obama may delay tax-cut rollback for wealthy
Sun Nov 23, 2008
By Randall Mikkelsen

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President-elect Barack Obama may consider delaying a campaign promise - to roll back tax cuts on high-income Americans - as part of his economic recovery strategy, two aides said on Sunday.

David Axelrod, the Obama campaign strategist who was chosen to be a senior White House adviser, was asked if the tax cuts could be allowed to expire on schedule after tax year 2010 rather than being rolled back by legislation earlier. "Those considerations will be made," he said on "Fox News Sunday."

Bill Daley, an adviser to Obama and commerce secretary under former President Bill Clinton, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that the 2010 scenario "looks more likely than not."

President George W. Bush's tax cuts are set to expire at the end of 2010. After that they would revert to 2001 levels, when the top individual tax rate was 39.6 percent.

Obama has called for reducing taxes for the middle class, but requiring the wealthiest Americans to pay more than the current top rate of 35 percent.

His aides' comments suggest Obama may be wary of imposing any additional tax burden at a time of deep crisis, despite the outlook for record budget deficits and mounting national debt. He may also be seeking to bolster Republican support for his recovery measures.

"The main thing right now is to get this economic recovery package on the road, to get money in the pockets of the middle class, to get these projects going, to get America working again, and that's where we're going to be focused in January," Axelrod said.

Obama said on Saturday he was crafting an aggressive two-year stimulus plan to revive the economy, aiming to save 2.5 million jobs by January 2011 through projects including transportation infrastructure, school modernization and alternative energy.

Obama called in October for a $175 billion stimulus measure, but he suggested he was ready to push for a much larger package.

U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat who is part of the majority leadership team in the Senate, told ABC's "This Week" that an economic recovery package between $500 billion and $700 billion is needed and could be ready by the time Obama takes office on January 20.

"I think it has to be deep. In my view it has to be between five and seven hundred billion dollars," Schumer said.

Everyone knows that politicians lie like troopers.

In Obama's case, that could only be a virtue.

I'm all for change. I hope I still have some in my pocket when Obama is through with me.

You will see how much change President Obama brings after he has been in office for a while. I suggest that Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State is a major change from Condi Rice. Exxon has never named a tanker after Hilary, have they?

I hope that President BHO can break a promise when the keeping of the promise would cripple the economy.

Or otherwise is a bad idea.

Something he might like to do he might wait for a better time to do , when it can be less harmfull and less of a load for a weakened economy to carry.

Damn straight, Plane. The first priority is the economic crisis, plain and simple. As for those who think that his delay is humorous, is it because you would prefer to see him fail?

If the keeping of the promises would harm us , why did we want what he was promising?

What is funny is us, it isn't easy to be our president.

I suppose that's true however, Clinton had a Republican House and Senate to keep him in line. Barry will have no such leash if the democrats are successful in stealing the Senate.

WASHINGTON — America has never seen anything quite like this: The president and president-elect acting like co-presidents, consulting and cooperating on the day's biggest crises.

"It's pretty unusual," said George Edwards , a presidential expert at Texas A&M University, in College Station .

What Princeton University professor Julian Zelizer calls "the split-screen presidency" is the result of several historic forces converging this fall:

— The 24-7 nature of the global economy, which demands timely reaction.

— Incoming and outgoing presidents who have personal and political reasons to show that they can manage a crisis.

— A president-elect, Barack Obama , who "believes in strong government and wants to get things under way immediately," said William Leuchtenburg , a University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill professor who's written extensively about the presidency.

You can blame Juniorbush for that. Those of us who did not vote for him can blame guys like you who did: twice.

And yet, you looked this photo up. Could it be that you are somehow strangely drawn to their stylish fashion statement?
