Carter v2.0
Obama writes to the Russians: please help us stuff Iran and we will make nice with you on the missile shield.
Putin says, "you silly Americans, we don't haggle."
Iran laughs, Russia ROFL, our allies hide their eyes pretending that the new Messiah didn't do something quite so childish and trusting ... and conservative Americans cringe. Our new President is trying to channel Jimmy Carter, showing everyone how wet behind the ears we can be on the stage of global politics.
Then we decide to snub Gordon Brown. Look, no matter how stupid he might be, we can't afford to hang our only "reliable" ally out to dry. But Obama's people think we can.
Obama's tax relief is "targeted to those who have lost ground in the past eight years," according to Geithner. And "to make the the tax code more fair" -- Rep. Lewis, D-GA. Yup. That top 1% of taxpayers in the U.S. who pay 37% of all federal income taxes were getting away with too much. That top5% which pays a whopping 57% were being unfair. Those nasty top 25% who pay 85% of federal income taxes ... they make too much. And those are the IRS' numbers.
Obama's method to generate $650 billion to fund this give-away "tax credit"? Carbon fees. Pollution fees. All the better to make sure that there is no growth possible to start a recovery with. Smart, that. Really brilliant. Took some real genius.
