Obama promises middle class tax relief
France News.Net
Sunday 7th September, 2008
Democratic presidential nominee, Barack Obama, has described the US economy as fragile and has said he would press for middle-class tax cuts if elected.
Speaking on the ABC News program "This Week with George Stephanopoulos," Obama said middle-class tax relief was his main priority.
Given the news about the government takeover of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, he said: "The economy is weak right now. The news with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, along with the unemployment numbers, indicates that we're fragile.”
He also said he might disallow President George Bush's tax cuts for wealthy Americans, because such a move might hurt the economy.
He told Stephanopoulos: "I want to accelerate those middle-class tax cuts through a second stimulus package, and then we're going to have to re-evaluate at the beginning of the year to see what kind of hole we're in before deciding on any upper-class tax increases.”

To those unfortunates who’re leaning on Obama-Biden’s so-called campaign promises to quick-fix their hardships, what these unfortunates going to do after November 5th with the empty hands, no free-lunch ? This country have more blacks and Latinos school-dropouts rate than others. Why not do yourself a favour, be more realistic to take McCAIN-PALIN presidency’s offer to go back to your local Community College to get new technology and new skill training for your Transforming Lives.

As if the pen name your using is a real name.
You might as well name yourself addhul the goatherder.
You still have not stood up to be counted all you do is sling mud and call it questions.
This is the behavior of a pundit, a paid hack.
