Obama tax cut
I had to hold my nose and watch H&C a few minutes ago. Anyone know what the Obama tax cut specifically calls for? He and some McCain campaign guy were hammering some RNC ad showing supposed flip-flops on the figure.

2. $250,000 and under - no tax increase
$200,000 and under - get a tax cut

I don't know what Joe Biden was referring to - and don't care.

4. He probably misspoke
or was heard wrong.

There's a campaign ad against our Dem candidate for senate that is smearing him with a clear misspeak. He said he advocates for tax hikes in living rooms across Oregon, when obviously he meant to say tax cuts. That hasn't stopped them from putting it up at face value and saying it's proof Merkley will raise taxes.

They don't care what they say.

5. Heard similar b.s. at f-x yesterday.
Serious mistake being there, and I don't intend to do it again, but O should be aware of this tax business.

Sounds like O (and richardson and ? Biden) were discussing 'what's middle class,' a question many ask. SO they may have said, in some context, 150,000, or 120,000, so f-x liars naturally telescope that to mean that O tax cuts will ONLY include those with such incomes, or somesuch.

SO, O etc. should clarify their meaning/intention.

PS, heard palin interviewed by Greta yesterday, on bus, with family. Was interesting, and somewhat revealing.

She's NOT stupid, and fwiw, the baby seems to be doing quite well, esp for a downs baby.
