“I think those of us who voted for McCain are going to be a lot happier with Obama than the people who voted for him,” Valerie Schlink, 46, a Republican from Valparaiso, Ind., said in an interview after participating in the poll. “A lot of the things he said he would do, like pulling out the troops in 16 months and giving tax cuts to those who make under $200,000, I think he now sees are going to be a lot tougher than he thought and that the proper thing to do is stay more towards the middle and ease our way into whatever has to be done. It can’t all be accomplished immediately.”
The ridiculous pot shot she takes at us "dirty hippies" she takes in the beginning aside, notice the two examples she pointed to as to why people who voted for McCain are going to be happy with Obama.
1. The 16 month timetable for withdrawal in Iraq
2. Tax cuts for everyone making under $200,000.
Ahem, maybe she hadn't noticed but the Status of Forces Agreement already has a timetable in it that we have to abide by and the Iraqi's have the ability to actually make us leave earlier with the referendum their citizens are going to vote on this spring. To put it bluntly nothing has changed. If anything America will be getting out of Iraq faster than before.
As to the tax cuts uhmmm what did she think was in Obama's stimulus plan that he submitted to Congress last week?
Man I have to tell you, I am not one for over hyping someone but this guy is killing em right now. Next thing you know he is going to have wingnuts saying universal healthcare ain't so bad after all! LOL
Now my fellow liberals and progressives keep this in mind the next time you are ready to fly off the handle about something President Obama "might" do. Sometimes you just have to work the refs a little and he definitely seems to know how to win the game.
