This FOX news report gets to the ongoing problem for Barack Obama — maintaining the notion that he intends to hike taxes only on the “rich.” This 2003 interview suggests Obama believes the cut off  on income for tax cuts should be much, much lower — “50, 60, 70 thousand dollars” than even the newly revised Bill Richardson number of $120,000. Well, has Obama simply changed his mind? Or was his underlying agenda revealed at a time he wasn’t confronting the “spread the wealth” problem?

It is unclear because both the MSM and the McCain “oppo” research has been so utterly deficient in bringing to light, until the eleventh hour, any persuasive information that might contradict Obama’s newly moderated agenda. It would have been nice to have that little nugget at the debate, or for a few weeks of ads. Some daring reporter might even have brought it up during one of those hard-hitting interviews. Well, if there had been any such interviews, I’m sure this would have been an item.
