Presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama (D-Ill.) mocked potential White House opponent Senator John McCain (R-Ariz.) for changing his position on tax cuts. “In 2001, Senator John Sidney McCain opposed President George Walker Bush's tax cuts,” Obama pointed out. “But now he supports their extension. This is pandering at its worst.”
"It’s as if he’s saying that the interests of taxpayers ought to take precedence over the needs of the government for more money,” Obama continued. “This is not the straight-talking maverick that he would like us to believe he is. This is the voice of greed.”
Obama said he would not join with those who have characterized McCain’s opposition to tax increases as racist. “While it is true that tax cuts mostly benefit the income earners, the vast majority of whom are white, I do not believe that Senator McCain was motivated by racist thinking,” Obama said. “After all, he did say he doesn’t know much about economics. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and chalk it up to pure ignorance.”
In related news, the Democrat-controlled congress endorsed tax increases for millions of Americans. The House of Representatives voted for huge increases to domestic spending programs that would be paid for by letting all of Bush's tax cuts expire in 2010. The tax increase bill passed the House on a 212-207 vote with Republicans unanimously opposing it. “The cruel era of selfishness that has dominated GOP fiscal policy is over,” crowed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.). “These are the people’s resources. We are the people’s representatives. We will decide how they are spent.”

A very subtle clue that this is satire. Semmens gets me almost every time.
“It’s as if he’s saying that the interests of taxpayers ought to take precedence over the needs of the government for more money,” Obama continued.
Huh? Of course the interests of taxpayers should take precedence over the government’s need for more money.
