Not just Obama, explain why McCain voted against TWO Republican tax cuts (2001 and 2003) that required that Cheney break the tie & then quoted as saying he voted against it because cuts were only for the rich. Evil rich! (agreed with him there ;\) -- yet of course he has flip flopped this idea during the campaign trail this year *surprise* so who know what would happen as prez).

BTW I don't think Republicans cut spending. The increase in spending presided over by President Bush has been due to Republicans until the latest Congress. Bush cut taxes but roughly doubled the spending over the tax cut. There's no such thing as Santa Claus. That money will have to be repaid in the future. Given that we have been running deficits the whole time under Bush, and the debt has almost doubled in the past 7 years, maybe more. The thing that all of these anti-taxers forget is that even if we eliminated all federal government costs down to $0, we still have almost $10 trillion in debt we have to pay off.
