Mr Obama has said that he would cut taxes for the middle class, and that he would pay for his health, infrastructure and other programmes partly by pulling American troops out of Iraq and partly by increasing taxes on the rich. Sceptics doubt that pulling out of Iraq will be easy, however. And they fret that Mr Obama's tax hikes for the rich, who already pay nearly all the income taxes in America, would have to be so high that the economy would suffer. By letting the Bush tax cuts expire, Mr Obama would hike the top rate of income tax from 35% to 39.6%. If he were to let the payroll tax apply to high incomes, too, he would add another 12.4%, split between employee and employer. Add state and local taxes, which are over 10% in New York City, and marginal tax rates for the well-off would be steep indeed. This would be a 50% are more tax rate for the rich. Also, that would not still cover all that Obama is promising. Therefore, the middle class will have to pay more. Is that not a tax hike on the average Joe? Will this become a burden on the economy? This makes no sense at all. Is most of the promises Obama is making, just talk to get elected? Looks like higher taxes to come or, just more broken promises. I think a mix of both. No changes here, more of the same old, same old.
Obama has made his opposition to the Iraq war in 2002, before he became a U.S. senator, a central theme of his presidential campaign. But Clinton urged voters to consider whom they wanted to answer the phone in the White House at a time of national crisis."His entire campaign is based on one speech he gave at an anti-war rally in 2002," Clinton said of the Illinois senator. "And I give him credit for making the speech, but the speech was not followed up with action, which is part of the pattern we have seen repeatedly -- a lot of talk, little action."But Clinton fumbled when reporters aboard her campaign plane asked her if she had ever made a middle-of-the-night, foreign policy decision like the one she touts in her ad. Clinton at first said she was "involved in a lot of the decisions that were made," but later she said, "No one who hasn't been president has ever done that."Obama spokesman Bill Burton said that "Sen. Clinton is right when she says she's been tested on national security, but it's a test she has resoundingly failed." Hillary Clinton, is firing at will towards Obama. But, she has one problem, Obama is to good at " talking". When ever she swings at Obama, he coolly turns it back on her. Maybe, Obama needs to answer the phone? But, after he hangs up, what will he do? Clinton is experience with eight years in the White House with her husband. Obama just comes across well. So, who do you want to answer that phone?
