Extra: Man bites dog!

What? Are Democrats in Congress showing some interest in engaging in smart politics?

This is an easy one, and Obama needs to be out in front of this one, leading the charge in support of a popular tax cut for the middle class and in opposition to an unpopular tax cut for the wealthiest 1% of Americans. Let the Republicans "hold the middle class hostage" if they so choose. Democrats can hand them the gun to do it. Maybe even cut out the letters for the ransom note.
