WASHINGTON, Sept. 7 (UPI) -- Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said Sunday the U.S. economy was "fragile" and he would press for middle-class tax cuts if elected.
Speaking on the ABC News program "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Obama said middle-class tax relief was his "priority." He said he might put off allowing President George W. Bush's tax cuts for wealthy Americans to expire because such a move might hurt the economy.
