That was the message of the latest Rasmussen poll by a 16% margin (51-36%) Americans want their government to cut taxes across the board to stimulate the economy. By a 17% margin Americans do not believe that Obama has delivered on the promise to cut taxes for 95% of all Americans.
Combine that with other recent Rasmussen data and you can understand why the "tea party movement is growing every day
- Thirty-six percent (36%) of voters now believe their own personal taxes will rise under Obama. On inauguration day, that number was only 31%
- An April study reported that Sixty percent (60%) of voters nationwide believe tax cuts help the economy, while 15% say they hurt and 14% say they have no impact.That same study showed that 58% of voters believe that Tax increases hurt the economy. (Take that cap and trade)
- Fifty-three percent (53%) of Americans believe that increases in government spending are bad for the economy, and almost 80% say the unwillingness of politicians to control government spending is a bigger problem than the public’s resistance to what Joe Biden described as their patriotic duty, paying more taxes.
- Earlier this week Rasmussen reported that Forty-five percent (45%) of Americans say the rest of the new government spending authorized in the $787-billion economic stimulus plan should now be canceled, just 36% disagree and 20% are not sure.

Obama is tone deaf. As much as people raced away from Dubya, and the brain dead choice put up by the GOP; Obama doesn't really have another game plan. Just prepare yourself for his getting nasty.
Nasty is the other side of the "entitlement" coin.
My guess, too, is that he's going to lash out at Bibi. And, Israel. WHich is a giant misdirection; since the problems aren't there! Just behind the screen, the dictates of the saud's. As if AMericans are unaware of how much they hate that country!
So, things will get "interesting."
We live in "interesting times."
It is also amazing how bad things get when you have incompetents in charge. Did you know that Lincoln basically had 3 good weeks? And, for the victory (finally) over Lee's army, he was shot to death by government insiders.
In other words? When bad times arrive, they can stick around for four years. And, the "victories" come at a price.
Obama, himself, decided to follow Dubya's path. And, I'd bet it has something to do with all the money he collected as a candidate. Sad that McCain was so out of touch with reality.
Now, let's take a look at Livni. She's younger. But she thinks getting rid of Bibi will be a push-over ahead.
Obama? He's gonna get very, very unhappy.
