So I was reading an article from the Wall Street Journal Online website. When I read:
"The illusion that Barack Obama will lead from the economic center has quickly come to an end. Instead of combining the best policies of past Democratic presidents -- John Kennedy on taxes, Bill Clinton on welfare reform and a balanced budget, for instance -- President Obama is returning to Jimmy Carter's higher taxes and Mr. Clinton's draconian defense drawdown. "
I had to disagree. There was no illusion that Barack Obama would lead from the economic center. We are getting exactly what we voted for. Barack Obama is fulfilling his campaign promises. The fact that Wall Street is having a fire sale means nothing.
In 1980 people voted for a change. In 2008, we voted to change back.
