Rethinking a campaign pledge before even taking office.
Quote:
In light of the downturn, Obama is also said to be reconsidering a key campaign pledge: his proposal to repeal the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. According to several people familiar with the discussions, he might instead let those tax cuts expire as scheduled in 2011, effectively delaying any tax increase while he gives his stimulus plan a chance to work.
That approach, Daley said on NBC's "Meet the Press," "looks more likely than not."
