WASHINGTON -- Preempting a potential GOP compromise over letting the Bush tax cuts expire for the top 2 percent of Americans, conservative strategists are claiming that such a deal would constitute a large-scale endorsement of President George W. Bush's domestic legacy.
Ari Fleischer, who served as press secretary under Bush between 2001 and 2003, and Brad Dayspring, a former top aide to Rep. Eric Cantor (R-Va.), both took to Twitter Wednesday morning to trumpet the potential expiration of the Bush tax cuts for the top 2 percent -- but their extension for those earning under $250,000 -- as a win for the Republicans. The tax plan currently pushed by the president and congressional Democrats, they argue, represents a preservation of 98 percent of Bush's tax policy:
Looks like Pres George W. Bush is a winner of fiscal cliff deal.AT LEAST 98% of one of his signature laws preserved by Dem President.
