President Obama continues to insist that any agreement to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff next year must include higher taxes on the wealthy. In his first White House news conference since winning re-election, Mr. Obama left the door open to structuring that tax increase in various ways. He's hoping to strike a bargain with Congressional Republicans that would prevent a broader tax hike on the middle-class that could send the country back into recession.
