Subject: RE: BS: Unpopular Views of Obama Administration
No, Dougie, I didn't... And I am being perfectly serious... Maybe you'd like to take a stab at it... What did they tell us??? Pick from the list below:

1. They think they pay too much tax??? (lowest rates in the civilized world and lowest in the US in 5 decades...)

2. Obama raised their taxes??? (No, $300B of the Stimulus bill was a tax reduction for 95% of Americans...)

3. They hate the health care reform bill??? (What provisions, por favor)

4. They want government off their back??? (Please explain how government is on your back, Dougie...)

5. Obama wants to take yer guns away??? (Oh??? I mean, the only folks I've heard that from are folks who hate Obama... Obama, himself, has been a gun right supporter going way back...)

6. Obama is going way too fast??? ( Really??? Like in what respect????)

7. The problem with America is that the deficits need to be eliminated??? (Oh??? And your going to do this by continuing a tax policy that does not create additional revenues???)

8. The government spends too much??? (oh??? Then how come Obama cut the annual deficit by $100B in his first budget??? BTW, where do you suggest the cuts come from???)

9. The Democrats are socialists??? (Hey, we have socialized wealth to the rich but the average stiff is still getting thrown out on the streets... Seems to me that the only socialism that the Repubs like is for their rich donors...)

10. Obama is spending $100M a day on this trip to the far east??? (oh??? That's not at all factual... BTW, do you think the president should just stick his head in the sand an not stand up for American business in the global economy???)

So, yeah, Dougie... I don't know what the voters said and nor do the Repubs... This is just another 9/22 PR game where everything that the Repubs have wanted going back forever are things that they say the voters want...
