NO! Obama has been playing this game for the past 6 months - phony bills in Congress, blame the Pubs for obstructing.
Has it worked?
NO! People are sick of that game. Sick of hearing the same thing over and over again. Obama is a one-trick pony - raise taxes, raise taxes, raise taxes.
His job approval is going down - not up.
I disagree with you, Swizz...Obama isn't as much about raising taxes as he is about increasing the deficit. He's figured out that the people don't like having their taxes raised but that all these trillions of dollars we've added to the deficit, kind of escapes scrutiny. Can you imagine the howls if our government was required to send out notices in the mail to each and every American telling them that "their" part of the national debt had just increased by $8,000 dollars...or $12,000?
