Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi Fail to Show Up for Tax Cut Signing

I guess they don't want to be associated with tax cuts. It might offend their liberal base.

(Politico) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will skip President Obama’s bill-signing ceremony for the tax-cut compromise at the White House on Friday.

Spokespeople for both offices said the Democratic leaders would be taking care of business on the floor of the Senate and the House and wouldn’t be able to make it.
