The White House has added an event to today’s schedule for President Obama. An administration source tells TPM that Obama should be expected to mention the tax cuts debate raging on Capitol Hill.
His 4:30 p.m. Rose Garden speech is expected to happen after his afternoon Cabinet meeting.
As we reported this week, the administration doesn’t want to miss an opportunity to hammer Obama’s point home about the tax cuts, and his plan to keep them for the middle class.
A White House aide also sent reporters a Business Week story showcasing Republican divisions on this topic. More on that here.
