Obama May Delay Reversing Tax Cuts

(AP / WASHINGTON) — Democrat Barack Obama says he would delay rescinding President Bush's tax cuts on wealthy Americans if he becomes the next president and the economy is in a recession, suggesting such an increase would further hurt the economy.

Nevertheless, Obama has no plans to extend the Bush tax cuts beyond their expiration date, as Republican John McCain advocates. Instead, Obama wants to push for his promised tax cuts for the middle class, he said in a broadcast interview aired Sunday.

"Even if we're still in a recession, I'm going to go through with my tax cuts," Obama said. "That's my priority."

What about increasing taxes on the wealthy?

"I think we've got to take a look and see where the economy is. I mean, the economy is weak right now," Obama said on "This Week" on ABC. "The news with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, I think, along with the unemployment numbers, indicates that we're fragile."

Here Obama is again talking out of both sides of his big mouth, flip-flopping all over the place.

Meanwhile, Freepers attack BOR’s interview of Obama. I think they’re fools.

Obama is so easily rolled that I think even BOR was able to roll him with his “you want 50% of my success” line during his interview that was shown tonight.

he’s acknowledging that raising taxes does hurt the economy, so why is he for it in the first place and/or at all? Class warfare, punishment, jealousy?

That's exactly what I thought. I'm glad you watched that interview and found and isolated that clip, as there's no way I could stomach watching more than 30 seconds of that thing. :O)
