4. Great. And apparently it worked...
Because every single poll shows that the public agrees. So the speeches worked, and now is the time to back those speeches up with actions. Veto or threaten to veto any extension of the tax cuts for the wealthy. Don't allow any vote that doesn't separate the upper and the mid/lower tax cuts and if the Republicans block it, go strongly aggressive and stay on message pointing out who is responsible for the middle class cuts expiring.

Again, pretty simple. If the message of those speeches was true and he believed them, then there is no other action that can be taken.

The speeches and the messaging are great but they don't exist in a vaccuum and if time and time again the action goes against the message of the speeches then at a certain point the speeches and the messaging fail to carry any resonance.
