Obama backs himself into no-new-taxes corner
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3482…
Obama is in a tighter bind because of previous pledges and decisions. In 2008 and early in his presidency, he promised not to raise taxes on families earning less than $250,000 and he decided to extend most of George W. Bush’s 2001 and 2003 tax cuts.Violating those pledges would make the Democrats’ political situation even more perilous among swing-state and swing-district voters.
