Speaking from an event at Scranton, Pennsylvania, President Obama on Wednesday took his message on the road, saying Congress, and namely Republicans, should vote to extend the payroll tax cuts before they expire on January 1.

This can not be about who wins or loses in Washington,“ said Obama. “This is about delivering a win for the American people.”

“Since I’ve taken office, I’ve cut your taxes,” responded Obama, in the face of those who claim he is nothing but a “tax and spend” liberal.
