Obama is wrong to support the $0.54-per-gallon tariff on imported ethanol

Reasons to agree:
  1. We won't be able to get countries to buy from us, if we tariff their products.
  2. If we don't tariff middle east oil, we sure as hell should not be tariffing brazilian ethanol.

Obama is wrong to cosponsor the bill that would overturn the National Labor Relations Board's "Kentucky River" 532 U.S. 706 (2001) decision.

Reasons to agree:

  1. The bill redefined many employees lacking the authority to hire, fire, or discipline, as "supervisors" who are not protected by federal labor laws. If you don't have the authority to hire, fire, or discipline, that means you are not a "supervisor".

Obama is wrong to circumvent the secret ballot requirement to organize a union

Reasons to agree
  1. Union leaders (often the mob), or coworkers would intimidate you into doing what they want.
  2. Unions already have too much power.
  3. The secret ballot is American. Taking away the secret ballot is un-American.

Obama was wrong on the surge

Reasons to agree
  1. The surge worked.
  2. Obama is using a surge in Afganistan, though he is too proud to admit it. You know he said he was all about change, but this is one of those stupid lame things that shows he is just like all the other politicians.

Interest of those who agree (that Obama is wrong):

  1. Promoting the Republican Party by attacking a democrat, Obama.
  2. Racism (criticizing a minority, Obama, because he is a minority).
  3. Defending Bush, because people became deranged, and tried blaming him for everything.

Interest of those who disagree (that Obama is wrong):

  1. Promoting the Democratic Party by defending a democrat, Obama.
  2. Liberal guilt (defending a minority, Obama, because he is a minority).
  3. Attacking Bush because he is a republican.
  4. Attacking Bush because he is Rich.
  5. Attacking Bush because he was privilaged.
  6. Attaching Bush because is a Jock.

Obama is right to simplify filing of income tax returns by pre-filling wage and bank information already collected by the IRS.

Reasons to agree
  1. Companies that make tax preperation software try and stop this, but that is stupid. Some businesses should go out of business, and serve no purpose. Filling out your taxes should be easy, and the government should make it so easy that the tax preperation software people go out of business. I'm sorry.

Obama is right to restrict offshore tax havens

Obama is right to close corporate tax loopholes

Reasons to agree

  1. This is kind of stupid, and like saying you’re for peace, justice, and the American way, however we should all try to stop loopholes. A loophole is, by definition, an un-intended consequence..
