More Populist Rhetoric from Obama

Democrats are rightfully bewildered and don't know how to use Obama this fall, but maybe they should just tell him to hide and quit making them look so desperate. On his website, Obama is claiming that Republicans are holding the middle class tax cuts "hostage,” because the GOP wants a bill that would extend all of the tax cuts made by President Bush. And what else? He's claiming that the GOP refusal to extend only some of Bush's tax cuts will force him to borrow another $700 billion "to provide an average tax cut of $100,000 to millionaires and billionaires." His populist rhetoric and threats are insulting. Does he really think the American people believe if he does not collect more in taxes from those earning over $200,000, that the country will be propelled to borrow money to close that gap? No amount of ridiculous rhetoric will overshadow our disgust with his "one-party government" that has and will continue to seek more tax increases to support any liberal policy he dreams up, all the while having no concern for an “unsustainable level of deficits its own spending has produced."
