Thank You President Obama for saving me $2600!!!

[KansasVoter]

I donated $2600 to you in 2008, and I will vote for the dem candidate in 2012, but if it is you you will get $0! So thanks for putting $2600 in my pocket!

[Dawgs]

1. ditto. Saving thousands here as well.

:hi:

[Poboy]

[meow mix]

3. i hope his new base does well for him

his obama republicans

[me b zola]

in addition to contributing the money that we did.

/sarc

[golddigger]

:thumbsup:

[bushisanidiot]

5. The republican party thanks you

i'm sure.

[KansasVoter]

9. No, they should thank Obama!

[Le Taz Hot]

No, they're thanking

him. This is not what WE voted for.

[n2doc]

8. FYI

the tax cuts are not paid for, so i hope you invest that money wisely because you will be paying back the Chinese people with 3.1% interest down the road. This was a bad deal (middle class tax cuts too) when Bush passed it and its still a bad deal now Obama has continued it. We used to be called tax and spend democrats but now we are afraid to do the taxing part. Socialist European countries have it so good because they pay very high taxes (even the middle class)and receive the reward back in govt programs. This is not what we r doing, very soon the interest on these loans will start t drag us all down.

All i can say is invest that $2600 very wisely cos you or your kids will be paying that back.

36. welcome to du

:hi:

[T Wolf]

10. And just think of all that quality time we'll be able to spend with our families instead of

doing the grunt/shit work for the campaign. Now that is a family value.

Of course, we could be spending that extra time trying to find work or simply trying to figure out how to survive.

[bushisanidiot]

11. The republican party thanks you

i'm sure.

[pnorman]

12. I donated $350 to him in 2008, noney that I could ill afford.

And I will donate NADA, to whichever primary Democratic candidate may result in a GOP take-over in 2012. Translation to the short-sighted screamers: I'm putting my money on Obama!"

[harun]

13. I'll save money on all sorts of candidates I donate to because I will be leaving the Democratic

Party.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

24. Pretty sad, huh? I'm regrettably with you.

Maybe he won't sign it? :D

[harun]

25. When he sign's this bill I sign my voter reg change of party form.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

27. I hear ya.

"I'm not leaving the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party is leaving me."

Supply-side economics? Ptooey!

[Roy Rolling]

14. Proof positive

that Obama's tax plan is saving people money already.

[Statistical]

15. See that is some stimulus.

Now go out and buy some goods & services with the $2600.

[FLPanhandle]

16. He is today what he was in 2008.

I still don't understand the shock some people have at his presidency.

I admit I'm a major cynic about all politicians, but how could you be surprised?

21. Like I said, I'm a major cynic with regards to politicians.

My expectations were pretty low, but he's still 10x better than McCain.

We elected someone with little political experience, no knowledge of how to make deals in DC, surrounded by corp interests, and committed to working with the other party. What we got is about what I expected in his first two years.

On the flip side, he is learning on the job, so I expect he'll get better over time. He'll learn how to work with congress, he'll learn who to trust and who to avoid, he'll gain experience. It'll get better.

It's odd for me to be the optimist here...I'm usually the one who believes the Douglas Adams quote..."Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job."

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. I knew he was NOT a liberal

but how far to the right he is willing to go is surprising, not shocking, just surprising.

[oneshooter]

17. Thats great! You can use the money to take that CCL class you promised to report on. n/t

[Still a Democrat]

20. Significant donors aren't that flighty

They take the long view and are deliberate people.

[oneshooter]

26. I am refering to this thread. Still no report from KV, and we are still waiting.

23. that's better than a middle class tax cut

[DemocratSinceBirth]

28. If You Donated $2,600.00 You Must Be Doing Well

That's more money than what I earned this year. You should spend it instead. Hopefully it will create some jobs. Or you can give it to an organization that helps the homeless...

[KansasVoter]

31. I will donate it to something good I promise.....

And thanks for calling me out on it. I have been lucky the last few years of work and know that it is just luck. I will give to charity or real progressive candidates!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

33. Your Welcome

Happy holidays...

[gristy]

29. I know what you're saying, but he isn't saving me a thing,

since some other candidate is sure to get it. We'll see who steps up to the plate.

[madrchsod]

30. i do`t get nothing from any of this but i did...

contribute 5% and counting from my social security checks....

[taught_me_patience]

32. Go spend it on useless chinese-made shit

and forget about ever having to pay it back (with higher taxes in the future). The american dream baby!

[jimlup]

34. Same for me.

Nothing from me in 2012. I'll save about $1000.
