Obama Cannot Escape Bitter Fruits of His Policies

during the president's press conference last week... he mentioned eliminating a tax loophole for corporate jets six different times, pretending it's the GOP's commitment to those loopholes standing in the way of a grand bargain to lower the deficit. Beyond that, Obama spoke about the tax loopholes as if they were fiscally significant, offering us the choice between allowing tax loopholes for corporate jet and gutting student loans, food safety, the weather service, and more. The game Obama was playing was both ludicrous and self-indicting.
