Thank You Mr. President !
During the presidential campaign you stole the Republican's Issue. The stump speech given by your campaign (and the future TOTUS) kept talking about the over-spending of President Bush and the Republican congress. Your platform was about fiscal responsibility and cutting taxes (to 95% of the country).
That argument was very popular in taxpayer land. It was also the argument that the GOP has used successfully for years. What gave Obama's argument legitimacy was that republican's talked that game but acted differently.
In less than 70 days since he took office the POTUS/TOTUS has proven to be an "uber" tax and spend Democrat, and as a result he has handed the GOP back its "issue." The question now is will the GOP return to its lower taxes/fis

Lower taxes, smaller government and a balanced budget, at all costs!

Obama “gave back” the fiscal responsibility issue!!????
Give me a break. The moron repubs abrogated any credibility on that issue! F them. We need a constitutional party that knows the definition of enumerated powers.
The goal posts have moved. A lot. W and his congresses ran 2 to 4 hundred billion dollar annual deficits. When you compare that to multi trillion dollar deficits it looks way better in retrospect.
It will only be an issue if one of those steel-spined republicans crawls out from under his desk long enough to mention it!
Don’t worry. The Retards in charge at the GOP will squander it.
Well, when Bush was spending like a drunken sailor, and Dems pointed it out, all Republicans could say was, “Dems would be worse.” Now we know how much worse—a lot!
Obama Gives the GOP Back its Lower Taxes/Fiscal Responsibility Issue,obama HELP.
