President Obama blasted his own party for choosing ideological purity over results Tuesday as he sought to defend the tax-cut deal he negotiated with Republicans.
In a surprise news conference at the White House, Obama angrily criticized liberals who say he caved by compromising with Republicans over the Bush tax cuts, telling Democrats that “sanctimonious” outrage does not help the American people.
“The New York Times editorial page does not permeate all across America,” Obama said.
The president said he is chomping at the bit to fight Republicans over the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy over the next two years, but for now he said he had to ensure that middle-class tax rates were not raised.
