And let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, I’m finally inspired by the guy – inspired by how badly we can beat him once the headwinds of 2008 are out of our GOP way.
This is the guy who’s gonna save the world?
Q Mr. President-elect, do you still intend to seek income tax increases for upper-income Americans? And if so, should these Americans expect to pay higher taxes in 2009?
PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA: The — my tax plan represented a net tax cut. It provided for substantial middle-class tax cuts. Ninety-five percent of working Americans would receive them. It also provided for cuts in capital gains for small businesses, additional tax credits. All of it is designed for job growth.
My priority is going to be, how do we grow the economy? How do we create more jobs?
I think that the plan that we’ve put forward is the right one. But obviously over the next several weeks and months, we are going to be continuing to take a look at the data and see what’s taking place in the economy as a whole. But understand the goal of my plan is to provide tax relief to families that are struggling, but also to boost the capacity of the economy to grow from the bottom up.
All right? Thank you very much, guys.
He didn’t answer the question! He must have thought he was having a fourth debate with McCain. The possible answers were, “yes, because its integral to my plan”, “no, at this time that would be unwise” or “we are reviewing that as part of our overall economic plan given the rapidly changing circumstances”. Couldn’t get it out – couldn’t get past a mindless repetition of the talking points.
Of course, the printed text doesn’t give the full flavor of the incoherence and meaninglessness of what the President-elect said. For 8 years now we’ve been told that President Bush is a dunce – and this is the smarter guy who’s going to fix everything?
Right now Obama still has the gleam of victory and the MSM bubble to protect him – but we’re going to flatten him as his liberal policies start to fail and the American people wake up to the fact that we’ve elected what appears to be a indecisive, liberal automaton…
UPDATE: Obama apologizes for his tasteless joke about Nancy Reagan. Forgiven and forgotten, as far as I’m concerned.
