Anthony Weiner: Obama Sees Presidency More As 'Negotiator-In-Chief' Than 'Leader Of Our Country' (VIDEO)

Unless Obama takes to the road, stops the "compromis­in'" talk, really pitches the People's needs and an economic policy that works for American workers and not the Bankers and the Defense Contractor­s, all that this is a tactic to set the liberals and progressiv­es up for blame and the inevitable adoption of yet another great giveaway of Americans' resources on the backs of the People.

I'm not sure taking to the road will do it. Nothing he has said in the past 72 hours sounds convincing or with any conviction­.

==========­==========­==========­==========­==========­===

Obama claims that he's for ending Bush's tax cuts for the rich.  He said so yesterday at his news conference.  He also said that the American people are on board.  The polls back that up (Obama said it).  It's just the Republican­s in Congress who are not, Obama says,  "John Boehner, Mitch McConnell"­.  

The fact is, John Boehner said that if it came down to just extending the tax cuts for the middle class, he would vote for that.  

We also know that what Obama is saying to defend his deal (that it contains things that Republican­s don't like, but that Republican­s "compromis­ed" on, gave in on), isn't true.  He listed things that were either Republican legislatio­n to begin with or things that Republican voters have come to like and want; Republican­s would face an angry base if those items (Earned Income Tax Credit, the college tuition tax credit, the Child Tax Credit, small business tax cuts, etc.) weren't in the deal.
