President Obama Demands Action From House GOP on Jobs, Taxes | TPMDC

President Obama Demands Action From House GOP on Jobs, Taxes | TPMDC:
"He repeatedly framed the debate in class terms, accusing the GOP of shielding the rich and powerful from sacrifices while demanding more hardship for poor and middle-class Americans.

'Before we ask our seniors to pay more for Medicare, before we cut our children's schools, we should ask corporate jet owners to pay more,' he said. 'I don't think that's real radical. I think the majority of Americans agree with that.'"

Ok this is good. This is the narrative that needs to be repeated over and over again. I wish Dems were as crafty as the GOP in coming up with catchphrases like "death panel" and "stay the course." I've seen a hashtag called "shared sacrifice" on Twitter, so maybe that's a start.
