A man walks past a Turbo Tax software software filing package on display at a Staples store in Manhasset, New York, April 15, 2010. With another April 15 U.S. deadline for filing tax returns looming, 2010 is likely to be the last year of lower taxes for the wealthiest Americans. President Barack Obama and most fellow Democrats want to let Bush-era tax cuts expire for those earning more than $200,000 and households making more than $250,000.

Obama will visit Kennedy Space Centre in Cape Canaveral, Florida, on Thursday to lay out revisions to the strategy, which has been under attack since it was unveiled by the U.S. space agency in March.
