Dr. John Lott points out that now the Obama campaign has lowered its definition of 'rich' to those making $150,000. Mmmmm, now let me see, first it was $250,000. Then it was $200,000. And now it's down to $150,000. First he says 95% will get a tax cut. Then when it's pointed out that 40% of those pay no taxes at all, we wind up with 55%...but Obama is still saying 95%. But somehow he's got to get the money from somewhere to pay for the cut...so, the 'rich' category just keeps getting bigger, with the threshold much lower. And what does THAT tell you?

Gateway Pundit reports big news today. The Rasmussen Poll shows that for the very first time in this campaign, more Americans now trust McCain on the economy than Obama. This is shocking given that Chairman Ba-O has made his Socialist economic views the centerpiece of his campaign.
