Obama to supporters: Don't get 'bogged down' (on details of) war, taxes

Some sound advice for his supporters.


"What they want to know is that our campaign stands for a fair, just approach to the tax code that says everybody has to chip in, and that it’s not right if a hedge fund manager is being taxed at a lower rate than his or her secretary."

On Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama said: "If somebody asks about the war, whether it’s Iraq or Afghanistan — if it’s Iraq, you have a pretty simple answer, which is all our folks are going to be out of there by the end of the year. If it’s Afghanistan, you can talk about, look, we think it’s time for us to transition to Afghan lead and rebuild here at home. So, again, it’s a values issue: Where are we prioritizing our resources?"

"They don’t expect you to know the ins and outs of every single policy," Obama said. "But they do expect that you’re going to treat them with courtesy and that you’re going to get back to them if you don’t know the answer to something."

Good advice from President Obama.

no one is going to believe someone is going to "i`ll get back to you"

took me a little over a minute to find the answer to question about cyprus on my commuter. should`t be any difference on a smart phone or a tab

If someone wants to know Obama's policy on Cyprus,and you don't know,familiarize yourself with that,then answer the question. It's the only honest way to do it.
