"Our challenge is going to be identifying what works and putting more money into that, eliminating things that don’t work, and making things that we have more efficient. But I’m not suggesting, George, I want to be realistic here, not everything that we talked about during the campaign are we going to be able to do on the pace we had hoped," Obama told me in his first interview since arriving back in Washington, DC as president-elect.

You got off your ass, now get your wife off her back.
How long before the bar drops to the evil middle upper middle class to start to pay THEIR fair share?
According to many at the DUmp, if you own a house and a car, you don't pay enough. :banghead:
Obama Calls for 'Grand Bargain' on Economy: 'Everybody's Going to Have to Give'
