Not Passing Tax Cuts Would be End of Obama Presidency

Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) told CNN that President Obama put pressure on Democrats to vote for his tax cut package saying that if it failed it would be politically devastating.

Said Fazio: "The White House is putting on tremendous pressure, making phone calls; the president's making phone calls saying that's the end of his presidency if he doesn't get this bad deal."

Of course, as Greg Sargent notes, DeFazio "is basing this claim on what a single other House member told him. And he won't even name that member."
