Today on the Signorile Show

President Obama announced his tax cut "deal" and why he caved in on extending the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy. He's still doing a lot of explaining, trying to talk angry Democrats into voting for it. Is it as bad as everyone thought? Even if it is better than thought, will it still torpedo the economy? Was the payroll tax "concession" Obama got from Republicans really worth it? Is it going to help or hurt his reelection and was this yet another shot at Clinton triangulation? We'll go through the plan, and the politics, and take your calls.

We went live to San Francisco federal court yesterday on the show, to the arguments in the appeal of the historic Prop 8 case. We'll go over the highlights today and discuss where it all goes from here and why opponents of Prop 8 were probably happier than proponents.
