And Bill Clinton agrees with Sarah Palin:
Clinton and Obama for Bush-
Two Democrats stump for tax cuts.
We thought we’d seen everything in politics, but yesterday was truly miraculous: There in the White House press room was none other than former Democratic President Bill Clinton appearing with current Democratic President Barack Obama to endorse the tax cuts of Republican George W. Bush.
“In my opinion, this is a good bill, and I hope that my fellow Democrats will support it,’’ Mr. Clinton said in praise of the Obama-Republican tax deal that would extend the tax rates on capital and upper incomes that passed in 2001 and 2003. Keep the sharp objects away from Bernie Sanders, please.
Both Democrats have devoted most of their political lives to denouncing such tax cuts—for their injustice, for increasing the deficit, for any other ill you can imagine. But 9.8% unemployment half way through a Democratic President’s term tends to discombobulate the partisan mind. So Barack brought in Bill to help persuade a liberal Democratic base that is having a harder time forgetting two generations of anti-rich populism. Or as Mr. Clinton once famously said, “You gotta do what you gotta do.”

The Marxist’s first announcement when he went on National TV in a nasty, petulant fit of anger, announcing a deal had been struck, proved he had lost to TEA Party patriots, so Sarah Palin was absolutely correct to call it a *flip-flop* not a compromise. The Marxist had no choice.
Bill Clinton? President Clinton once famously said "You gotta do what you gotta do."?
Seriously? I know he famously said, "I all depends on what is, is." and "I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.".... But "You gotta do what you gotta do."? Really?
