Obama Takes Aim at GOP Agenda

It's about time, I love it, I just hope they didn't wait too long.  Here's a link.

"It is grounded in the same worn-out philosophy: cut taxes for millionaires and billionaires, cut the rules for Wall Street and the special interests and cut the middle class loose to fend for itself," Obama said Saturday in his weekly radio and Internet address. "That's not a prescription for a better future. It's an echo of a disastrous decade we can't afford to relive."

"It turns out that one of the ideas that's drawn the most interest on their Web site is ending tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas," Obama said. "Funny thing is, when we recently closed one of the most egregious loopholes for companies creating jobs overseas, Republicans in Congress were almost unanimously opposed."

Here's some more.  

"I know your congressman here I think has strong ideas about what he says he wants to do," Obama said. But, he said, the math behind the Republican proposal -- which includes keeping the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest 2 percent of Americans while balancing the budget -- "doesn't add up."

On Monday, the president dismissed Republicans as "not serious." At a rally before more than 20,000 people in Madison, Wis., on Tuesday, Obama accused the GOP of working to "hoodwink a whole bunch of folks all across the country" about his governmental philosophy.
