President Obama will discuss what the payroll tax cut extension means to ordinary Americans in a public appearance tomorrow, according to a senior administration official.

Obama is riding a wave of public support in favor of extending the cut and has positioned Democrats as working to prevent a tax hike, while he accuses House Republicans of playing politics.

"At Thursday’s event, the President will discuss what’s at stake for the American people, and will be joined by Americans who would see their taxes go up if the House Republicans fail to act, including some of those Americans who have responded to this call to illustrate what $40 means to them," a White House official said.

The event is set to take place at 12:15 p.m.

1. Just more posturing

by everyone in D.C. It's about time that politicians from both sides actually did some real work instead of fighting eachother.

4. Yes, Both sides are fighting....

one is fighting for Tax cuts for 160 millions,

the one (read Republicons) are fighting for the 1%!

I'd rather Dems fight than not. Many have complained over and over
that they weren't fighting enough. Now that they are, folks like you
come out of the woodwork to complain about that. How about that?

6. It's called the "bully pulpit"

and it is wise to make good use of it such as this.
