Obey's Priority - Class Warfare

According to this story, Dave Obey wants to make this about "us versus them."

" . . . Congress is moving in a new direction and is being run by people with a different set of priorities - putting the needs of average working people ahead of the economic and political elites . . ."

Seriously, does Dave Obey really expect us to believe that Republicans sit around in a room and say, "how can we screw people who make less than $50,000 a year?" Let's remember, that Republicans passed the tax relief that reduced to zero the amount of federal income taxes a family of four who makes $45,000 a year pays.

The economic and political elites of the world who live in Washington and New York and Los Angeles support the Democrats, not the Republicans. And Dave Obey should know, because it's the liberal, rich, elite from the East Coast that do the most to fund his campaigns.

In a recent Oshkosh Northwestern article, Dave Obey opines on being a Freshman member of Congress.

To be sure, it will take time for members of the freshman class to find their place in Congress, said Dave Obey, the third longest serving member in the House.

"For the first three years that I was in the Congress, I thought I had made a big mistake," said the Wausau Democrat.

First, we're impressed that Obey can remember back that far.

Second, we wish Obey would have followed his gut and realize that for the future of America, someone with his values should indeed not be serving in Congress.
