If you are a blind hater, then you will never be happy with this move. However, its a good sign that Obama might start compromising (similar to Clinton)! His liberal base hates this move and he still appears to be doing it anyways.

White House Concedes on Upper Income Tax Cuts - FoxNews.com
senior adviser David Axelrod insisted Thursday that comments he made to an an online publication conceding to an extension of tax cuts for all income levels are no different from remarks by the president over the weekend.
Axelrod, who confirmed to Fox News comments he made to The Huffington Post, suggested that the administration is ready to accept an across-the-board continuation of current tax rates, marking a turnaround from the White House's pre-midterm election stance on impending tax increases.
"We have to deal with the world as we find it," he said. However, Axelrod made clear to Fox News the White House is not conceding a permanent extension for the top 2 percent of earners.
The president's top adviser also acknowledged that separating different categories of tax cuts now is politically unrealistic and procedurally difficult.
"We don't want that tax increase to go forward for the middle class ... But plainly, what we can't do is permanently extend these high income taxes," he told the online publication.
