“31% of voters thought that a President Obama would cut their taxes. Only 11% expected a tax cut from a McCain administration.”
This speaks volumes. Obama has basically promised billions of dollars of new spending, but people somehow fell for this. John McCain hates spending, and probably would have cut taxes, but he was not able to articulate it - or perhaps the media delibrately smothered the message.
The stock market did not seem so easily fooled.
This was the media’s election. They went all out to protect Obama and treated McCain like they did Bush. When I spoke to people at church this weekend, the Obama voters were not leftists. They were the ignorant types who really hadn’t tuned in more than to buy the happy enthusiasm from the media.
Most had no idea what the man really stood for at all.
That is exactly what I have been experiencing at church -- the politically uninformed bought the con man's schtick, "hope, change, whatever ... " They were all spouting medjia-repeated Dem talking points. I told them all that they are going to have buyer's remorse at some point, but that unfortunately, the whole country has to suffer with their mistake. I told them that Obama is going to plunge the US into a depression and asked them to remember this conversation.
