It is obvious. But why is the one Obama supporter on this thread seemingly ashamed of Obama meeting with these people whether it is on Tuesday (today) or Wednesday? Odd, as I thought all Obama supporters embraced Obama's policies and his people.
I didn't vote for obama, and am not embarrassed either way. OP was hackish. He did was rex and da routinely do and omit like half the information to make a sensationalist headline. Its crap when they do it, and crap when you do it.
If your point was why meet on Tuesday vs. weds, why not put that in the OP? Well I can guess, b.c then you would have to then say who else he was meeting with and that goes against your agenda.

Politico 44 reported this. They highlighted the names in the top of the article. They are proud of this, obviously.

Everyone in that first list should be pushed over any cliff we can find. But in typical Obama fashion, get the demands from the takers, then meet with the payers to tell them how much it's going to cost them.

The meeting already happened. Unless you are a fat cat CEO that Obama doesn't like when he is campaigning but he sure likes their contributions.

And the demands are just as we suspected.
quote:
During Tuesday's meeting, participants said the president reiterated his contention that the wealthy should pay more in taxes and that his views were vindicated by the election. They said the president showed no willingness to extend the Bush era tax cuts for the wealthy. "He's standing firm on taxes, on the issue of raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans," said Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress.
The labor and liberal organizations said they made clear their opposition to any benefit cuts to Medicare recipients or increasing the eligibility age. Max Richtman, president and CEO of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security & Medicare, said after the meeting he was confident that "whatever savings come out of those programs would not come out of beneficiaries or citizens, it would be focused more on providers."
Should we be surprised ?

Methinks the top 1% of wage earners are in trouble. Add 3 % to their tax bill, and the accountants will figure a way to make it -5%. Just watch.

The sad thing is Obama won't budge rich=$250K mark. A local beauty/barber shop/mom and pop diner/HVAC/Plumbing/Antique stores all gross over $250K. Schumer even admitted this. Obama won't budge.
I'm telling ya Obama wants the working class on their knees forced to go get food stamps and welfare until he can usher in the global utopian communist dream he has. Global currency and order; via the U.N. coming full speed ahead. Exception being: when the U.N. rule the globe they will require an ID to vote.
