Is Obama Weak, Stupid Or Complicit?

Monday, December 6th, 2010 – running time 09:05

Cenk Uygur (host of The Young Turks) talks about a new CBS News poll showing that 67% of Americans donít want a tax cut extension for the rich. He asks why president Obama is backing down on his promise to not give more tax cuts to the wealthiest Americans.

New CBS News poll out saying that 53% of Americans would only like tax cuts for 98% of us, people making under $250,000.

You don't give another 700 billion dollar tax cut to the richest people in the country. If you don't understand that either you don't know a thing about politics or you don't wanna know because secretly you want tax cuts for the rich.
