The Daily Kos Reaction To Obama Cutting A Deal On Taxes | Right Wing News: "This may shock some of you, but liberals are....unhappy. I know, I know. It's stunning. How can it be that such cheerful, contented people have been so sour for...what is it now, like 600-700 straight days?
Of course, in all fairness, they do have a reason to be upset: Barack Obama has lied to them the same way he has been lying to the rest of America. Here's the HuffPo describing why liberals are p.o.'d,
Over the past three months, Obama described the Bush-era program that he's now adopting as his own as 'tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires' no fewer than 50 times, according to a review of his stump speeches, weekly addresses, and comments to campaign donors and members of the news media.
The rhetoric was deliberate: Obama was trying to cast Republicans as the party of the wealthy while his fellow Democrats represented the middle class.
He used that rhetoric at campaign events across the country, from Los Angeles and Las Vegas to Des Moines, Iowa, and Richmond, Virginia.
During at least three pre-election rallies, Obama, playing to crowds filled with die-hard supporters, railed against the tax cuts for the wealthy, eliciting rounds of boos from the audience, according to White House transcripts."
