It's Not The GOP Who Hold The Middle Class Hostage -- It's Obama

How things get twisted.

The Republicans have never said they wanted to raise taxes on anyone.  In fact, their position is to keep taxes low and keep them at the same rate as they are right now. For everyone! 

Only one person and his party have threatened to end the Bush tax cuts for everyone and that is Barack Obama and his Democrats in Congress.  Simply put, if Obama doesn't get his tax increases on the rich, he is willing to let all the Bush tax cuts expire.  Yet, over and over, again, the President claims that the Republicans are holding every middle class family hostage on the Bush tax cuts.  But, the truth is just the opposite.  Obama's got the gun to the head of the middle class and he's willing to shoot unless the Republicans surrender.
