I'm not sensing the spin. Can you point to what the consensus is?
It's my understanding that many Democrats are giving flak for Obama, considering he and others were saying awhile back that America couldn't afford to continue Bush-type tax cuts. There are Democrats who are upset about this and look at it as Obama giving in to the Republicans.
