Do as I Say, Not as I Do Department

The Washington Post--which heartily endorsed President Obama--has decided to move up its 2013 dividend payment to stockholders (including that noted "soak the rich" advocate Warren Buffet) to December 27 2012, so as to allow said shareholders to benefit from the 15% rate on capital gains/dividend income rather than the feared increased rate that President Obama advocates for and which many believe will be part of a compromise with Republicans, if one occurs.

The hypocrisy here is abundant but certainly not unexpected.
