Its a bit of a leap to go from "we’ll wait and see" to he's raising taxes.

Now don't get me wrong: I firmly believe in the old saying: No man's life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session. So it would not surprise me at all to see my health benefits taxed. Obama and congress will say they tried every other way to do it but could not make the numbers work (when has thet ever stopped them???). But you're putting the cart before the horse to make the claim now based on Axelrod not saying Obama won't rule it out.
