Candidate Obama promises to let Bush tax cuts expire "for the rich." Now the left feels, of course, betrayed. They are finally noticing what the rest of us have known for some time: Obama is a disciple of Machiavelli.

As I kept saying before the election, after the election Obama will start working on 2012. In fact it was Rick Santorum on FNC Cavuto who said (before the election) that Obama wants ALL the cuts extended for his own political survival (related to the current bad economy not ideology) but has to play this “I am a hostage” game because he cant win in 2012 without his liberal base either.

So last night you could see a liberal civil war on MSNBC over those that felt betrayed by Obama and those that repeated Obama’s lame blame Republican excuse. I have a acute sense of when something makes sense as Judge Judy always says, and Santorum's logic struck me as on target.

This one was a great post if you caught it in time:
