Obama and Biden’s Rapidly Changing Tax Plans

I came across an interesting video montage on the musical numbers that have floated around of late.  The most interesting tidbit, which I forgot, is Obama’s Democrat primary comment that anyone making $97,000/yr is “upper class”.

Obama: I’m Not a Socialist, You’re Just Selfish

I usually try to look at both sides of things, but Obama is really out of touch right now.  This youtube clip says it all.  It’s got some commentary in it, but it’s the only clip I’ve found with his quote.  It appears Obama is basically saying that anyone who doesn’t want more taxes is simply selfish.  Then he compares taxation to sharing toys in Kindergarten, or sharing a sandwich.

There is a difference between charity/sharing and taxation.  Sharing is an act one chooses to do, taxation is something that is forced.  If I don’t share, I’m just an ass.  If I don’t pay taxes I’m heading to jail.

I also hate to point it out, but Conservatives are more charitable than Liberals.

Obama Informercial Brings In Viewers According to Ratings Report

The Washington Post has posted the ratings for last night’s Obama “Infomercial.”  The early raings show that it got 30.1 million viewers.  ABC, who did not show “Barack Obama: American Stories” got 6.6 million viewers for “Pushing Daisies” (more than its 5.7 million last week and even more than the 6.3 million it got for the season premiere).  Some further breakdown of the ratings:

  • NBC: 10 million (last week: 8 million for “Knight Rider”)
  • CBS: 8.7 million (last week: 8 million for “The New Adventures of Old Christine”)
  • FOX: 8 million (last week: 10 million for “Bones”)
  • Univision: 3.7 million

Numbers are not yet available for cable networks (MSNBC, BET and TVOne) that also showed the special.

It will be interesting to see if this has any affect on the momentum the McCain campaign has had the past week.  We may not know for sure for a few days as polls tend to lag influences such as this.

Rasmussen: McCain More Trusted on Economy and Taxes

A surprising Rasmussen poll shows McCain is now polling ahead of Obama on the economy and taxes.  A month ago, McCain was polling 3 points behind on taxes.  Currently, he is polling 2 points ahead.  Obama seems to have hurt himself some with his answer to Joe the Plumber of “spreading the wealth around”.  A month ago, McCain was 9 points behind on the economy.  Now, he is 1 point ahead.

While these are small margins, it is yet more evidence that McCain is gaining momentum entering the election.
