Do you agree with President Barack Obama’s compromise with GOP leaders on extending across-the-board tax cuts? 

Yes. I think it would help many small businesses and families that need it.

His back was against the wall! Therefore, he had to make a decision because it’s gong to affect everyone, especially the unemployed and middle class.

With the economy the way it is, something must be done! It’s good that the Democrats and Republicans can agree and decide on something!

I don’t agree. It just shows his weaker side to keep compromising. It just shows that he’d rather give in than deal with any conflict. He’s not trying to fight for what he really believes in.

It had to be done. The Democrats dropped the ball with the support the president needs in the House and Senate. If the Democrats would have held on to their seats, President Obama wouldn’t have had to compromise.

I was disappointed initially because I don’t think that in the current economic times we can afford more tax breaks for millionaires. But I trust that Obama is a very intelligent man and has access to much more information than I. If he thinks it’s the best thing for the country, I trust him on it.
