   Just because I voted for Obama, twice, doesn't mean that I'm obliged to   
   agree with everything he says and does.  Nor do I ever recall hearing him   
   say that there's no waste in government.  I *DO* recall hearing several   
   GOPpers claim that raising taxes on businesses and multi-millionaires   
   "kills jobs", which is a pretty obvious lie.  YOU own THAT.
