Obama Warns Best-Selling Authors: You're Not "Off The Hook"

July 11, 2011

Obama wants to let you know that no one is getting off the hook. Be it CEOs of Fortune 500 companies, corporate jet owners, hedge fund managers, or .... best-selling authors? Yes:
"We weren't balancing the budget off of middle-class families and working-class families. And we weren't letting hedge fund managers or authors of best-selling books off the hook. That is a reasonable proposition."

Obama concluded, "we're not looking to raise taxes right now" -- just in 2013 and 2014.

I would rather be talking about stuff that everybody welcomes like new programs or the NFL season getting resolved. Unfortunately, this is what's on our plate. It's before us right now and we've got to deal with it. What you are right about, I think, is that the leaders in the room here, at a certain point, have to step up and do the right thing regardless of the voices in our respective parties that are trying to undermine that effort."
