I like Gary’s framing but defer to comms and speechwriting on the issue.  We can also use somewhat different rhetoric depending on the audience — and deploy Gary’s framing more when talking to wonky reporters, etc., who I think will buy much more into that approach.

Two suggestions in the attached.  

--On exec authority, I’ve added — "in fact, I’ll do so by [DEL: using] [ADD: asking my Treasury Department to use its] regulatory authority if Congress doesn’t act.”  This is my trying to give us some cover when charged with acting unlawfully/imperial presidency/etc.  Think we’re trying to use that phrasing in the written material, at least.

	—Also would suggest getting a hit in on the Republicans, especially since the exec authority part will be seen as a knock on Obama.  Added the following line:  "Republicans in Congress should stop standing in the way of closing these loopholes and investing here in America.”  But, completely defer to you guys on whether to use.

It will strike many in business community as silly.  I would say 'it's about fairness'. And also about paying all taxes due.  Also about leveling with small business.
