Can't Say We Weren't Warned
By Matthew Cunningham | 10/21/08 | 02:50 PM EDT | 0 Comments
The feeling that an Obama victory is inevitable is producing candor from the Left about what that means.
Here's Rep. Barney Frank on CNBC today:
"Deficit fear has to take a second seat"!
I wish a had a dollar for every time a liberal has taunted me during the last several years over the "Bush/GOP deficits!" My hunch is that left-wing talking point will be popped down the memory hole, and suddenly deficits won't matter!
Frank also let's us know "there are plenty of rich people out there we can tax." Did you hear that, Sen. Obama!
Now, liberals like to point out that Obama has promised -- promised, mind you! -- not to tax households making less than $250,000 a year.
Would that be the same Obama who promised to use the public financing system? The same Obama who promised to lead a filibuster against the renewing the Foriegn Intelligence Surveillance Act?
Cold comfort. An Obama promise is worth about as much as...an Obama promise.
