I just paid taxes on $267,000 income in 2008 from my job and my wife's, jktnc.

Isn't that about what we just had for 8 years?

Yawn. Only a small percent of the hate-filled 26 percent of bigots on the right will show up. The fact remains that Obama won the election, which was a rejection of the haters, and still has the overwhelming support of the American public as shown by many polls, including a recent Gallup poll. So the protestors are really protesting the other 74 percent of Americans. And because they live in an information "bubble" they think they are the majority.

"I can make a firm pledge," he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. "Under **my plan**, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes." (Emphasis added.)

This tobacco tax is NOT part of **his plan** - this is legislation that was introduced even before Obama was president. You can learn that at this 2007 Heritage Foundation link: <a href="http://www.heritage.org/research/healthcare/wm154..." target="_blank">http://www.heritage.org/research/healthcare/wm154...

He did not say that he would not sign legislation already underway that increased taxes. Therefore it is not a violation of his campaign pledge.

However, his justice department stopping the prosecution of the former Republican Senator from Alaska - prosecution that was begun and carried out by the Bush White House - that *is* a clear bipartisan move, showing his sense of fairness.

So, where did he find his "trial lawyer?" I thought wingnuts hated trial lawyers?
