Dems Call For Ending Tax Cuts For Rich - Memories of 2007

Ahhh... remember the primary debates.

Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York said money from the elimination of tax cuts that were a cornerstone of President Bush's economic policies would finance universal health care for all Americans. She criticized Bush for what she called his indifference to income inequity.

"When the Bush administration came in they were determined to tilt the balance back to the wealthy," Clinton said.

She and the other Democratic hopefuls were asked about taxes, racism, AIDS and other issues in a televised forum at Howard University, a historically black college.

Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois said, "The Bush tax cuts — people didn't need them, and they weren't even asking for them, and they ought to be relaxed so we can pay for universal health care and other initiatives." http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/2007-06-28-democrat-forum_N.htm#uslPageReturn


Sorry, he said the tax-cuts should be "relaxed" - which we now know means "not relaxed"

Seems to me like Obama has done a 180-degree turn on quite a few issues over the past couple of years.

Are we sure it's really him and not a mind-altered clone?
