What the President sent me, and what I sent him in return, after sending him $ for 3 years!
Edited on Tue Dec-07-10 09:32 PM by activa8tr
You can forget about my $10 for Obama, in 2010, 2011, and 2012.

You gave ALL my money away to millionaires.

Screw you!

David --

Yesterday, the President announced the framework of a bipartisan agreement to extend a set of tax cuts that were set to expire, restore unemployment benefits for millions of Americans, and pass additional measures to help middle-class families and create jobs.

Now, he's recorded a video to speak directly to OFA supporters about the deal. Watch it here -- and leave a note with your thoughts.



This agreement, while not perfect, is vital to millions of Americans who are out of work through no fault of their own -- as well as millions of middle-class families, students, parents, and small businesses.

Take a minute to watch his message -- and then let us know what you think:

Thanks,

P.S. -- The President will be talking with OFA supporters live tomorrow at 6:00 p.m. Eastern Time -- sign up here for a reminder and instructions on how to listen in to the call.

And furthermore, completely overlooking the existence of other voters and Congress.

3. My own response to that same e-mail was this:
"Sir, they are not tax cuts. They are deficit hikes, and this is a dark day."

6. 10 dollars? Really?

Wow, that's very generous. Some folks could only afford pocket lint, and participating in some snark on the internet.


edit: grammar

7. It's actually much more likely....
...that your money went to someone In the 'middle class' bracket. Maybe it went to one who happens to be unemployed. I'm not sure why you needed to lie about it 'ALL' going to a millionaire, as though you know for certain that that is an incontrovertible fact.
