The Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan of 2009
Fifty-three percent of American voters voted for Barack Obama; 46% voted for John McCain, and 1% voted for wackos. Give that 1% to President Obama. Let's say the vote was 54% to 46%. As a way to bring the country together and at the same time determine the most effective way to deal with recessions, under the Obama-Limbaugh Stimulus Plan of 2009: 54% of the $900 billion -- $486 billion -- will be spent on infrastructure and pork as defined by Mr. Obama and the Democrats; 46% -- $414 billion -- will be directed toward tax cuts, as determined by me.
I say, cut the U.S. corporate tax rate -- at 35%, among the highest of all industrialized nations -- in half. Suspend the capital gains tax for a year to incentivize new investment, after which it would be reimposed at 10%. Then get out of the way! Once Wall Street starts ticking up 500 points a day, the rest of the private sector will follow. (emphasis added)
The economic crisis is an opportunity to unify people, if we set aside the politics. The leader of the Democrats and the leader of the Republicans (me, according to Mr. Obama) can get it done. This will have the overwhelming support of the American people. Let's stop the acrimony. Let's start solving our problems, together.
Sounds good to me!

I would be all for it, if for no other reason than that the Democrats and Obama could only do half the damage they are getting ready to inflict.
If Obama cared about compromise and really wanted to fix the economy, he would listen to the opinions of those who oppose him. However, his statement that "he won...and now he will trump" any opposition perfectly displays his true colors.
It's all about power...getting and keeping as much as possible, at the expense of the people who put him in office (and those who didn't).
