NPR: Super Committee Rep: No Bush Tax Cut Rollback but Payroll Tax increase is "on the table".
Thereby proving what a disaster the Super Commission will be for America (thanks, Harry Reid).

Also, the guy from Atlantic who is covering this issue praised Obama on NPR as having modeled his presidency after George H.W. Bush,

saying that he had been similarly "vindicated on foreign policy issues like the invasion of Libya" despite economic problems at home.

I could not tell if he was serious but he seemed to be framing it for an audience of administration fans at NPR News.

3. BTW the Super Committee Rep who said this was GOP. But their veto is built into the system.
And the bill that passed enacts automatic austerity measures (which Obama himself described as an unacceptable alternative) if the Super Commission plan fails an up or down vote.
