In the post yesterday on the proposed federal Christmas Tree Tax, I wrote: "My guess is it will take the Obama administration approximately 24 hours, or one Rush Limbaugh show, before it backs down on this one."
Turns out I was close. From Fox News: "The White House has decided to sideline a proposed fee on Christmas trees, after the fee was ridiculed by critics as a tax on Christmas....White House spokesman Matt Lehrich told Fox News on Wednesday afternoon that the administration is putting a stop to the proposal."
