Senate Dems Upset w/Tax Deal

Several Senate Democrats on Tuesday morning criticized the White House and Republican tax deal, saying that President Barack Obama gave up too much to a recalcitrant opposition party. The initial pushback suggests that the White House will have to woo a handful of reluctant Senate Democrats to back the wide-ranging compromise in order to get the measure over the finish line before the tax cuts expire at year’s end. And as Republicans are poised to gain new power in the House and Senate next year, Democrats are worried that Obama will be eager to leave them behind in order to advance legislation that draws significant GOP backing/Manu Raju, Politico.

Question: Do you support the tax deal between President Obama and congressional Republicans?
