Does it matter?  Perception, isn't that the name of the game?

I like it , shows Obama on the cover of many magazines , but what are they printing?

Just the picture ?

How at this stage is there any doubt about what the Obama Program is?

I do think that a lot of new taxes will harm our economic expansion , this is very likely to reduce tax receipts to the government if the economy gets bad enough , a bad economy in the USA will cause a bad economy in China almost immediately , make it bad enough and we could see the collapse of the Social security system very much earlyer than the estimates of experts who assume an unchanging economy.


1929 set records these could be surpassed in 2009 ,could be that we will all be blogging from Obamatowns more squalid than Hoovervilles ever were.

Or maybe not ,I am not a particularly strong prognosticator , but will the first black leader of the free world be willing to take major risks? Legacy will be more serious for him than it ever was for Hoover.

I guess what I wanted to know was whether Obama really was planning to raise taxes on those earning $42K.  Where does THAT come from?

When the Bush tax decreases expire there will be a tax increase , last I heard the Democrats are nearly unaamous in wanting this to happen.

Other taxes Obama has talked about would make Gasoline more expensive or Social Security more expensive to the higher earners.

I assumed Obama was gonna tax the RICH, I don't think anyone earning 42K a year is anywhere near rich.

Why does McSame claim that Obama wants to raise the tax on Mr. or Ms. 42K?

A politician defines rich as he pleases.

The expiration of the Bush Tax cuts will increase the taxes on the 42K earner.
