...except that Dems did NOT embrace the Dubya tax cuts.  The Dems that voted for it the first time around, the Blue Dogs, have been replaced, and the red dogs in the Senate insisted on a 60% majority by a joke of what they call a filibuster. Where the Dems dropped the ball is in their failure to invoke their version of the Republican "nuclear option" on filibusters.

I still wouldn't call that an embrace.

In 2009-2010 they had a free hand to enact whatever tax rates they liked.  What they decided to do was extend the existing rates for two years.
