The news headline was Obama's decision to draw the line on George W. Bush's tax cuts. He would continue the most economically stimulative cuts for families earning less than $250,000 a year but say no to extending the rest of the tax cuts that, as Obama noted, "would have us borrow $700 billion over the next 10 years to give a tax cut of about $100,000 to folks who are already millionaires." What do Democrats stand for if they are not willing to take on this cause?
That's the problem. The Dems are not taking up the cause. What say ye?
"I've never believed that government has all the answers to our problems," Obama said. "But in the words of the first Republican president, Abraham Lincoln, I also believe that government should do for the people what they cannot do better for themselves." Then he offered examples of what that meant, highlighting programs Americans believe in, as an antidote to empty and abstract anti-government rhetoric.
Suddenly, there's a point to this election. Obama is late to this game, but at least he's finally playing it.
Merde! Late to the game......you idiotic WA Post pundit. Late to the frigging game???
These pundits just don't get it. Obama has been working his tail off. That's what good presidents do. He has not been playing the game WA's happy, mindless pundits want him to play because he hasn't had the time. After all, he's president of these disunited states. |
