From enraged to disheartened. It turns out that Obama felt the need to defend his economic situation. I'm sure this has nothing to do with the polls being so close, and with the statistics that taxes feature heavily on the average voter's mind. No nothing at all. I'm not making this bit long, just know a few things; (a) Obama isn't Bill Clinton and our economy isn't even near the upswing it was in when Clinton made a responsible tax increase, (b) Obama has one of the largest spending platforms known to presidential races. His plan is nowhere near achieving the necessary balance, and (c) Why are all his plans based on a 10-year cycle? Is he special enough to negate the two-term limit set out in the 22nd Amendment?
To me this sounds like another political maneuver, not that Obama does that sort of thing, his platform is one of change ya' know...
