Excerpt:

*NOTE: White House press secretary Jay Carney was joined at the briefing today by Jason Furman, Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and the Principal Deputy Director of the National Economic Council. My first question is a follow-up to one asked by the Associated Press about the president’s comment/negotiating position from 2011,  when Mr. Obama said “What we said was give us $1. 2 trillion in additional revenues, which could be accomplished without hiking taxes — tax rates, but could simply be accomplished by eliminating loopholes, eliminating some deductions and engaging in a tax reform process that could have lowered rates generally while broadening the base. ” That comment seems to be at odds with the president’s current insistence that tax rates on the top two tax brackets need to be raised, since closing loopholes and eliminating some deductions won’t result in sufficient revenues.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
