facts are facts -

1. The last president to raise taxes during a recession was Herbert Hoover. As I am sure that many of you do not know who he is, he was President during the start of the Great depression. After said president reased the taxes, this nation slipped into the Great Depression.

2. During John F. Kennedy’s speech to the New York economic club in 1962, he stated that to grow the economy you do not raise corporate and payroll taxes. You lower them so the companies can invest the money back into themselves. You CLOSE the loopholes that the Clinton administration created with NAFTA allowing U.S. based companies to use cheap chinese and mexican labor and import those goods into the U.S. without paying tarriffs that would have made it cheaper to keep the jobs here.

3. Sen. Obama has accomplished a gread deal. However, he has yet to actually field a “real” question. As soon as he does and falters, as with Joe. His cronies attack the person who asked the original question. This is typical of the left wingers. Now, Obama’s running mate has lowered the threshold of middle class tax cuts to those making less than 150,000 gross per household. Next, it will be 100,000 etc..

William Jefferson Clinton also promised middle class tax cuts to those making less than 200,000 per year and within one month of taking office raised taxes on those same individuals. After attacking Bush 1 for something similar. In reality, Bush 1 vetoed it and Congress overrode his veto. Does anyone notice a pattern with the left?

Please wake up America before its too late.

And I am sorry he will not be the savior to african-americans and I am BLACK-AMERICAN as I was not born in Africa.

Things are a tad more relaxed out here in Australia, thankfully.

Who’s GF?

If so, she sure did a shitty job of it.

Yes, I love that Alaska is this big Socialist experiment that no one ever talks about.

He never does. It really is astounding how he can keep not saying what they keep saying he says. Almost like they are not listening at all. Like when you’re talking to the dog.

Wasn’t this the main reason for her popularity in Alaska?
Sarah Palin explains the windfall profits tax that she imposed on the oil industry in Alaska as a mechanism for ensuring that Alaskans “share in the wealth” generated by oil companies:

“And Alaska—we’re set up, unlike other states in the union, where it’s collectively Alaskans own the resources. So we share in the wealth when the development of these resources occurs.”

Did she really say,”collectively”? Somewhere, Karl Marx is smiling.

Please, all, supply me with more obnoxious and smug zany zingers

I listened to it … Obama talks about the civil rights movement and the Warren Court and, quite to the opposite of what Fox/Drudge claimed, said that the “tragedy” of the civil rights movement was that it focused to heavily on pursuit of social change through the court system, and not through political/legislative movement. In fact, his take on the Warren Court’s interpretation of the Constitution as describing “negative rights” — that is, what the states cannot do to us as citizens — is right in line with “conservative” jurisprudence.

THAT is what the false controversy is here. Not that Obama didn’t give the interview in 2001, but that he didn’t say what Fox/Drudge/McCain accuse him of saying.

This whole problem of taking words out of context, supplying misinformation in the form of “journalism”, and trying to play a tit-for-tat blame game — a la Olberman and O’Reiley — doesn’t do anybody any good. It doesn’t solve any problems, and in each case where statements are misconstrued – whether by the Left or the Right – but really most egregiously these days by the Right — just undermines the credibility of those spreading the misinformation. Cripes. Call me naive, but I really hope we can someday rise above this kind of nonsense.

What I wish Burton would have said is “Fortunately for us only a small minority of Americans pay any attention to Fox News at all.” Megan Kelly probably would have gone full O’Reilly after that

Yeah, how dare he talk about the issues that affect Americans.

But I see what you mean, it’s only okay if it’s a Republican.
