In reply to the discussion: Obama Joins the Club [View all]Oilwellian
(12,647 posts)At the time, a large majority of Americans said NO and Democrats swept the 2008 elections. Then it came up again in Obama's Grand Bargain negotiations and the American people said NO. Now, here it is again in Obama's Budget proposal. Again, the American people have had to respond with a great big NO.
It just doesn't make sense that Obama HAD to make this proposal in order to elicit a public outcry against it. Where the hell have you been? There's been public outcry for the past several years. You say this is the first time it's been in the public eye and that's just not true.
This is such a huge blunder by the Obama camp, 2014 does NOT look good for Democrats OR the country. I'm also cynical enough at this point to wonder if it was Third Way purposeful.
