While President Obama and his team may be trying to undo the work of the president with the most successful economic record of the century just concluded, their rhetoric shows how much they recognize the appeal of that great man’s ideas.
Obama the candidate praised the Gipper during the campaign. And like his Republican predecessor, the Democratic nominee called for a “net spending cut” and promising a tax cut for over 90% of Americans. After his election, he held firm to his Reaganite record, vowing to go line by line through the federal budget, rooting out waste and inefficiency.
And it seems that whenever I hear Administration officials (or other Obama defenders) on FoxNews when pressed about the cost of his proposals and the tax cuts they will require, the spokespeople reply that, “Well, the president has already delivered on his promise to give a tax cut to 95% of Americans earning less than $200,000 a year” (or some such).
Yup, they’ve been reading the polls and know that small government ideas resonate with the American people, something Ronald Reagan recognized back in the 1960s–if not before.
When then are they acted at odds with their rhetoric and proposing an ever larger scope for an ever larger federal government, intruding increasingly into our lives, limiting our freedom and hamstringing our capacity to innovate and improve and limiting the abilty of private enterprise to expand, create jobs and increase opprotunity?
“Well, the president has already delivered on his promise to give a tax cut to 95% of Americans earning less than $200,000 a year”
This seems to be one of those things only the Inner Party is aware of.
the MJ crazed masses hardly know of what Obamamessiah speaks? Reagan? pencils? taxes? most who voted 4 him haven’t set up independent households yet…
I’m a conservative but think you and most of the blinded on this site need a wake up call. Name one thing just one that any republican president has done to help with equality. It doesn’t matter what party you like its about actions speaking louder than words.
You are those like you supporting right wing republicans are what is drastically hurting those of us who would like to see fairness come to the U.S. Man just go back in the closet.
ROFL 🙂 Sure, Stepen. Sure.
Google “Emancipation Proclamation” sometime, Stepen.
P.S. It seems like it’s been a few weeks since I’ve seen the “I’m a conservative but blah blah leftist shibboleths showing my leftism” approach here. What happened?
It’s more illustrative to note how the party who pretends to own “equality” have done quite a bit to stamp it out.
