Obama

So I was listening to some radio, and this guy said he certainly didn't want another four years of Obama.

But that bugged me, because I don't think Obama has done that bad over the past four years. The recovery has been slow, but he's been working under difficult conditions. I think he was a better choice than McCain, and I don't think that the Republican candidate is likely to be moderate this coming election.

And personally ever since reading about his new plan to cut oil and energy subsidaries whilst raising taxes is a good plan. I'm lower-middle class and I pay a higher percentage of taxes than people making much much more than me, and that really bugs me because it only contributes to the shrinkage of the middle class.

>obama's plan is difficult to swallow because it means we have to sacrifice on both ends (spending and taxes) right now because that's the only way to fix the foolishness of the bush years. however it is an actual, workable plan.

See that's what it seemed like to me. I've played around with online 'Fix the U.S. Budget' simulations and such and from what I know about economics already cutting taxes won't do a damn.

It just struck me as odd that some people, particularly radio talk show hosts, didn't really understand how okay Obama was doing.
