President Obama Interrupts Jay Carney White House Briefing /
On yesterday, President Obama interrupted press secretary Jay Carney’s White House briefing to talk about the payroll tax cuts that have been taking up majority of our political space on T2T. Just so you know, the payroll tax cut that President Obama and the Democrats are fighting for would mean the difference of $40 dollars in the paycheck of 160 million American workers—including you! One half of the United States Congress has managed to pass a bill, including the payroll tax holiday extension. The Senate passed a bipartisan bill to extend the tax cuts. But, what did the tea party Republicans in the House of Representatives do? They rejected it—a bipartisan bill that would provide a tax cut to nearly all middle class, working folk. At the press briefing, Obama kept it cool, but he wasted no time attacking Republicans for their political games—telling the press that the stakes are high, but this isn’t “poker.”
