Obama is blaming the Republicans for not signing the tax bill and making the public think that the Republicans do not want to extend the Bush era tax cuts.

Once again today, the Republicans refuse to sign the Bush Era Tax Cuts.  President Obama want you to think it is the Republicans fault that the tax extension has not been signed yet.  Obama does not want people who make over $200,000 a year ($250,000 for families) to get a tax cut.  This does not make any sense.

Most people who make over $200,000 a year are small business owners.  If you give them a break, they can hire more employees and help lower the unemployment rate.  Right now all Obama is doing is trying to show that his muscles are bigger than that of Republicans.  

If he was really that concerned about extending the Bush Era Tax Cuts, he would have done that a lot sooner rather than waiting till after the general elections.  It sound like he just wanted to mention this first in order to make the Republicans look bad.
