SHE WILL NOT BE IGNORED?:
Pelosi-Obama brawl on tax cuts? (Glenn Thrush, 1/18/09, Politico)
As we've been reporting for a week, Nancy Pelosi seems to be on a collision course with Obama over the Bush administration tax cuts for families earning more than $250k.He's edging towards letting them expire in 2010, after running against their existence for two years. She wants 'em repealed immediately -- as in now.
And she 's not backing down, telling FOX on Sunday: "I don't want them to wait two years to expire because they have to prove their worth to me,'' citing her oft-repeated argument that they are one of the biggest factors swelling the pre-stimulus deficit.
At some point over the next two years, he's gonna find that labradoodle boiling away in a pot on the White House stove.... Posted by Orrin Judd at January 18, 2009 11:47 AM
