Obama Will Not Extend Bush Tax Cuts To Wealthy
President Obama will rule out on Wednesday any compromise that would extend the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy beyond this year, officials said, adding a populist twist to an election-season economic package that is otherwise designed to entice support from big businesses and their Republican allies.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs Thursday pushed back against Fox News host and religious revivalist Glenn Beck by asserting that President Obama is “a committed, mainstream Christian.”
