I confess, I didn’t read the whole article, but I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he probably said that BHO ran as a moderate Republican rather than is a moderate.
He ran as a moderate Republican, rather than a Socialist. He would never get elected in this great nation — a center-right nation — running as a Socialist or a Marxist.
However, he did fool a lot of people with his spread the wealth nonsense. If he allows the Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010, which he will, he won’t need to institute a tax hike.
But, if he ever does, it will only compound the percentage adjustment upward after the Bush tax cuts expire.
