Obama salutes spirit of compromise, signs tax bill
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama saluted a new spirit of political compromise Friday as he signed into law a huge tax bill extending cuts for all Americans — including benefits for the rich that he and congressional liberals had denounced — along with billions of dollars in help for the middle class and jobless workers.
"It's a good deal for the American people; this is progress and that's what they sent us here to achieve," Obama said as a rare bipartisan assembly of lawmakers looked on.
The package retains Bush-era tax rates for all taxpayers, from the working poor to the wealthiest. It also offers 13 months of extended benefits to the unemployed and attempts to stimulate the economy with a Social Security payroll tax cut for all workers.
At a cost of $858 billion over two years, the deal contains provisions dear to both Democrats and Republicans. It represents the most money that Obama was likely to have been able to dedicate over the next year to a slowly recovering economy, at the same time increasing the federal deficit at a time when the country is growing increasingly anxious about the red ink.

Not that wasnt so hard to wasnt Mr Obama? At least you kept your promise on this.
Remember when George Bush said this?
Later he raised your taxes. Wanna know why? Democrats made compromise with Bush. Bush wanted to attack Saddam in operation desert storm and freed kuwait. But the Democrats were against war of anykind so Democratys told Mr Bush you want us to go along with attacking saddam? Then Sign the tax increase bill. And that cost him the re-election. Now Obama wants tax cuts on Middle Class and the poor Republicans said tax cuts for all or nothing. If Obama vetoed it then your taxes would been raised by 20% So in order to keep his promises he had to go against his party. The Reason why some democrats went along is because of fear. Its the Tea party people are pressuring democrats.If the Senators and Congressonal liberals want to keep their jobs in 2012 they better do what the tea party says or you can find yourself another job. Obama doesnt want Sarah Palin in the oval office in 2012. Its like Bank Robbers holding employees hostage and if you dont give in to their demands they will kill the hostages. And you know the police want everyone go home safely and unharmed. Thats how Obama and the Senators and congressmen played it. The fact is the Tea Party is holding them hostage. Its like a gun in their heads. Its like this.Suppose i kidnap your dog and send you a letter with my demands along with this photo.
Youre gonna do exactly as i say right? The samething the Tea Party is doing to liberals right now.
