John McCain has started the "re-branding" of Barak Obama. This is from The Hill:
It never ceases to amaze me that some people think that the best way to revive an economy is to suck more money out of it through increased taxes. Everyone on this board got something in the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. Yet, the progressives seem to think that they should keep theirs while "the rich" (said with a snarl) are forced to give theirs up.
Earth to Saunterelle: Your taxes will go up.
Deflecting attacks that his administration would be a third Bush term, John McCain said Barack Obama is "running for Jimmy Carter's second" in an interview with Brian Williams on the NBC Nightly News.
"Senator Obama says that I'm running for a Bush's third terms. It seems to me he's running for Jimmy Carter's second," McCain said.
The comment came during a discussion on record high gas prices.
Asked to clarify his comment, McCain said, "He's got proposal that would raise taxes by $1.4 trillion, you know, over five years. Raise spending by $1.4 trillion over five years. And no way to pay for his programs. That would put us further in debt."
