know. at the end of the day president obama is selling a very simple message. i want to keep taxes low for middle class americans and republicans, i m worried, are in the position of looking as if they don t care about the middle class and want to keep tax rates low for wealthy americans. one of the things that struck me in my interview with tim geithner, the republicans were a little unclear. he said the bush tax rates had to go up but not all the way up and geithner said they had do have to go up to 39.6%. i still think the white house is willing to settle for something in the middle there above the bush tax rate but maybe not all the way back up to clinton, maybe not 250 and above, maybe 500. i think there are moving parts there. i think he says in every speech he goes out there and gives the hard line message to the base i m not going to be the woos you thought i was last time. he says i want to compromise and we all have to get out of our comfort zone. i want a deal. and rep
