“Overseas contingency operations”. “Man-caused disasters”. We should have seen this coming a mile away:
…The president also called for undoing the Bush tax cuts for upper-income taxpayers, and for canceling other tax cuts many of them receive such as the mortgage interest deduction — which he called “spending reductions in the tax code.”…
What that means is “tax increase”. The bizarre world of the left in which not taking your money counts as “government spending” and taking more of your money is a “spending cut”.
The good news is that Obama is just going along with what he’s done for two years: a combination of dishonesty and empty rhetoric. The American people have already tuned this out, so his speech today won’t move the political needle, at all. The ball now comes firmly back in to our court and it is up to us to craft a plan and the tactics necessary to illustrate the bankruptcy of Obama and liberalism. I like my plan best, of course – but the main thing is to think about things and come up with something new. Sure, oppose the tax hike proposal – but don’t just oppose it; figure out a way to throw it right back in their faces.
All in all, there is growing inside me a confidence about 2012 I didn’t feel even a month ago. If there was a time for Obama to really put it back together and prepare a genuine response to us, this was it. He blew it. We’ll still get all the nastiness from the Obama campaign as the campaign season developes, but we won’t be fighting on his terms…he’ll be fighting on our territory and without a map or a battle plan.
