So, at least two of the major components of Obama's pre-election economic plan appear to soon be gone with the wind.

1) The silly idea of a meaningless $3000 tax credit for companies that hire new workers.
2) Repealing the Bush tax cuts for upper income folks.

Obama's party and his cadre all seem to be in agreement now that these would not be good things to do.

So, let me ask you this ... if a simple business guy from Sidney Ohio knew back in October that these were not smart moves, are we really to think that these guys didn't know it back then, too?

Of course they knew it! But they also knew what they had to say in order to get elected. And so that is what they said.
