Obama hitting back hard today.
Wow. Just said he rejects the notion of tax cuts being the only way to get the economy moving. And so do Americans who showed up at the Polls and voted for change.

YES!!

1. He had a bad day yesterday, no doubt.
All presidents do, and there will be more.

But this restriction on CEO pay from bailed out companies will resonate well with Middle America.

9. LOL!!! Who are those 6 percent? The CEOs?
Should executives of companies getting federal bailout money have their pay capped?

Yes 75% 29627
No 6% 2260
They shouldn't get paid 19%

7. duration of honeymoon ...
Obama: "of the office of President of the United States."

Roberts: "So help you God."

Obama: "So help me"

"liberal media": "Well, he's a failure as president. This could bode well for the Republicans."

Obama: "God."

14. That's what he needs to do.
He needs to be making these statements every day to combat the right wing BS. He needs to make sure there are videos for the evening news casts.
