Foster's Daily Democrat says that President Obama hurt his health care plan more than helped it this week, and not because of the Cambridge Police controversy:
OBAMA: “You haven’t seen me out there blaming the Republicans.”
THE FACTS: Obama did so in his opening statement, saying, “I’ve heard that one Republican strategist told his party that even though they may want to compromise, it’s better politics to ‘go for the kill.’ Another Republican senator said that defeating health reform is about ‘breaking’ me.”
But that is not nearly the worst of it. Throughout the campaign and into his administration, the president pledged that middle and low-income Americans earning less than $250,000 a year would see no tax increase.
But Wednesday, the president vowed only to reject any measure “primarily funded through taxing middle-class families.” (more)
