Change

Does anyone else remember Democrats claiming that the Bush Tax cuts were the root of all evil? They caused heart burn, indigestion, upset stomach and diarrhea. The cuts were tilted towards the rich(aren’t the “rich” mostly Democrats nowadays?) They caused the Arabs to hate the Jews. Oh, and global warming and bad breath.

Now, a day after President Obama cut a tax deal, the tune has changed. The tax cuts are the “second stimulus” they’ve been pining for lo these many years. They’ll help increase GDP by as much as .75% and pretty much cement the President’s reelection chances. They are a brilliant compromise where he snatched strategic victory from tactical defeat.

So did anyone else notice that? or is it just me and my fevered imagination? Perhaps that’s what is meant by “nuance.”
