Obama's Weekly Address: Extending Middle Class Tax Cuts to Grow the Economy

In his weekly address, President Obama says that it's time for Congress to pass the middle class tax cuts for 98% of all Americans. Both parties agree that this will give 98% of families and 97% of small businesses the certainty that will lead to growth, and so there is no reason to wait. On Tuesday, the American people voted for compromise and action, and the President calls on Congress to come together in that spirit to help create jobs and strengthen our economy.



Elections have consequence. It is nice to see President Obama being assertive in his discussions with congressional leaders.
