Well, Crybaby/Coward Harry Reid, Senate Majority Leader has refused to hold a vote on Obama's tax measure..
From Newsbusters: "Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday rejected a Republican request to vote on President Obama’s income tax plan amid defections within his caucus on tax policy," Alexander Bolton of The Hill newspaper reported just before 10:30 a.m. today. "Reid appeared exasperated by the Republican request to vote on extending the Bush-era tax rates when Democrats would prefer to focus this week on a small-business tax package estimated to create 1 million jobs," Bolton added.
You may recall that on Monday, President Obama renewed his call to extend the Bush tax cuts for every income bracket except that covering income earners making $250,000/year and more, blasting a "stalemate" in Washington and urging Congress to "come together and get this done" without delay because (emphasis mine):....
Here’s what happened. Mitch McConnell asked for two votes, one on the GOP’s plan to extend all the tax cuts, including for income over $250,000, and another on Obama’s plan to extend the tax cuts on income just under $250,000. Reid objected. So what actually happened is that Reid didn’t want to hold a vote on both the GOP plan and Obama’s proposal.There will, in fact, be a vote on Obama’s plan, a Reid spokesman confirms.“There will absolutely be a vote on President Obama’s tax plan this work period,” Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson emails.

So, Coward Reid, living up to his nickname, is afraid to bring up the Republicans tax plan in cowardly fear that the GOP would actually win over Obama tax the rich plan.
Poor, Poor Coward Harry Reid, afraid of his own shadow and Republicans everywhere.
