Obama says no to new taxes, yes to ending Boy Scouts' gay ban
(CBS News) President Barack Obama told CBS News in an interview broadcast live before the Super Bowl that he sees no need for more increases in tax rates.
The president signed a bill raising rates on higher-income Americans last month, but this is the first time he's said that he doesn't intend to extend higher rates to more taxpayers. It's a change from the position he's held for many months.
