Not when you understand that this is the political mentality of your average democrat:

Oh, it’s not just that he’s insulated from the effects of the estate tax,
he makes money off of people setting up their estates to avoid estate taxes.
The higher taxes that Obama demands of Americans are ‘Above my Pay Grade’.
So let’s see - the message is: “Go ahead and work your butts off, because at the end of the day, your butts are mine.”
Yep - that’ll sell.
To be fair, Obammy didn’t say it was his policy, he was quoting what Buffet said. Just because he sees some merit doesn’t mean much.
I wish I had your confidence - and that it was justified. Yes, he proved that the White House is above his pay grade and will be for many years, but that may not worry voters who see a chance for 'hope' and 'change'.
Obama is not yet toast. It's only his ideas that are half-baked. This election is not over until all the votes are counted, the pregnant and dimpled chads evaluated, and the appeals routed through the state and federal courts to determine whether we can change the rules after the election to fix an outcome that could only have come from cheating - a charge proven by the Republicans getting more votes that are counted.
If you don't believe it's not over, then for reference, I would suggest reviewing Glenn Close's actions near the end of "Fatal Attraction". Michael Douglas finally subdues her, we see the body under water in the tub, and ...
If you don't believe it's not over, then for reference, I would suggest reviewing the hero's victory over Jason near the end of any of the "Friday the 13th" movies ...
If you don't believe it's not over, then for reference, I would suggest any other suspense or horror movie, or some from another genre. We all know that moment of relief in a movie when we realize that continuing to worry about Obama, Freddy Kruger, Jason I-VI, Glenn Close, Clinton I, the Bride of Clinton, Clinton III (in 20 years), the Mummy, Dracula, or Dr. Evil is simply "beating a dead horse" ... and we know what is sure to follow a moment after that sense of relief.
I won't believe that we're safe until Obama's concession speech - if we get that lucky - or the inauguration.
Not when you understand that this is the political mentality of your average democrat:
Ears that do not hear
Eyes that do not see
Still they are staunch liberals.
Sounds good?
Sounds bad.
Broad is the road that leads to destruction.
We are to love our enemies including them that will not see.
I find it difficult at times.
It took me awhile to realize that politics and Christianity do not mix in this world.
Heh heh.
What Buffet prescribed for Obama is no different than out and out thievery. Or robbery. Government approved robbery.
A one can hope bump!
Well, you know what the elistists say.. “...only the little people pay taxes...”
"If you talk to Warren [Buffet], he'll tell you his preference is not to meddle in the economy at all -- let the market work, however way it's going to work, and then just tax the heck out of people at the end and just redistribute it," Obama said. "That way you're not impeding efficiency, and you're achieving equity on the back end." He continued by saying that he thought there was some merit in Buffett's argument.
Nice summary...thanks.
Thanks for the ping.
:’) hey, taxes are not important... ;’)
Economy May Not Influence Election As It Has in Past (Dems frustrated)

To think roughly half the voter base wants this guy and his robbers in power. It is amazing.
