Cherry picking probably won't work on Lemmy:

Obama overcame the sunset provisions and made the tax cuts permanent for single people earning less than $400,000 per year and couples making less than $450,000 per year, but did not stop the sunset provisions from applying to higher incomes, under the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.

I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the info.

Also, let's not pretend that there isn't more to criticize here. Obama governed as a conservative.

Oh I'm happy to criticize or congratulate anyone who makes a poor or good decision. It will be my opinion, of course 😉
