WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President-elect Barack Obama may consider delaying an election promise - to roll back tax cuts on high-income Americans - as part of his economic recovery strategy, a senior aide and an adviser said on Sunday.
David Axelrod, one of Obama's closest confidants chosen to be a senior White House adviser, was asked if the tax cut could be ended later than Obama called for during the campaign. "Considerations will be made," he said on "Fox News Sunday."
Obama's about two months away from his inauguration, and he's already considering breaking campaign promises and betraying his supporters.
I doubt that they'll care. To them, Obama can do no wrong.
They would follow their cult leader over a cliff.
Anyway, all Obama has to do is blame President Bush for this delay of the promised change.
The Obama faithful will swallow that excuse hook, line, and sinker.

In Byron York's piece today he references this quote from Obama, "The real gamble in this election is playing the same Washington game with the same Washington players and expecting a different result." Obama's left-wing Kool-Aiders aren't going to be able to handle the "meet the new boss, same as the old boss" thing for very long. My guess is their patience will wear very thin very soon. In this age of "I want it now," I can't see the lefties being willing to wait a couple of years or more for Obama to move in their direction.
I find it comical that Obama is going to keep the Bush tax cuts in place after all. Pretty soon, Obama will be saying he can't pull out of Iraq as originally planned. Why in a matter of weeks Obama (and others) will probably start saying Bush was right all along.
It'll be too late by then.
I can't imagine the Leftists being satisfied with broken promise after broken promise from Obama.
The fact is they were duped. The lib media were duped.
I think it's going to be a very short honeymoon.
Or maybe not.
Eight years of Bush Derangement Syndrome can't be cured overnight.
I didn't vote for BHO because he's black; I voted for him despite his being black, and because he said he would rescind tax cuts for the rich--not have them lapse or expire at some amorphous time in the future. Is this payback to Mr. O's fat cat contributors? What a freakin liar!
