Obama also persuaded House Democrats to remove provisions related to family-planning from the stimulus and -- over the objections of many Democrats -- inserted large tax cuts for businesses that Republicans wanted.
None of it was enough.
I'm sick of tax cuts for the rich. Obama promised to raise the taxes of the rich. What happened with that?
The Republicans are pigs; the Democrats are sheep. Gawd, the reason why so many people voted for Obama is because of the word "change." I want to see real change, not little-bitty changes. Don't the Democrats in office understand? It's obvious that the Republicans are clueless, but really, aren't Democrats in office a bit more intelligent as a group?
