Well make up your mind already!

Four and a half months ago, on July 7th in St. Louis, Obama proclaims "If Senator McCain wants a debate about taxes in this campaign, then it is a debate I have (sic) happy to have, because if you're a family making less than $250,000 a year, my plan will not raise your taxes". Later in the campaign -- this is just recently -- very slyly, very slyly, Obama reduced the figure. "If you have a job, pay taxes, and make less than $200,000 a year, you'll get a tax cut." Whoa! So $250,000 has become $200,000. Monday, Joe Biden, in a TV interview on WNEP-TV in Scranton Wilkes-Barre lowered it again! Biden explains, "It should go like it used to. It should go to middle-class people, people making under $150,000 a year."

Now, you can say, "Well, you know, this is Joe. He has these rhetorical flourishes and he may not be up to speed on what the campaign is doing," but it's come down from 250k, and then went to $200,000, and yesterday Biden said you're cool if you make less than 150k. Give it another month and they'll lower it to 100k... By the time he is sworn into office it will be 50k.Gawd, we are sooooo screwed if this man gets elected!
