President Obama and the Democrats passed everything they wanted against the wishes of the American people when they had control of both houses of congress.
Usually president’s run on their record in office to get re-elected. But, not Obama and Tapper explains why:
JAKE TAPPER: What’s interesting, George, is the conundrum in which President Obama finds himself. He really can’t run on so many of his major legislative accomplishments — regardless of the merits of health care reform, financial reform, the stimulus — they’re not popular. So what you see is President Obama putting out other issues to discuss: raising taxes on the wealthy, raising taxes on corporations so as to bring jobs back to the United States.
