Quoted: According to a new analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution, Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain are both proposing tax plans that would result in cuts for most American families. Obama's plan gives the biggest cuts to those who make the least, while McCain would give the largest cuts to the very wealthy. For the approximately 147,000 families that make up the top 0.1 percent of the income scale, the difference between the two plans is stark. While McCain offers a $269,364 tax cut, Obama would raise their taxes, on average, by $701,885 - a difference of nearly $1 million.

Quoted: While Rose likes to tell everyone what he’s drinking (nice unicorn background image, Kevin), Obama invites his followers to sign up so they can be the first to find out who his VP pick is going to be. How about Rose? He knows how to get the vote out and seems ready for a new gig.

Quoted: 'It's the thing that nobody wants to talk about, but it's obviously a huge factor.'"

Quoted: Why isn’t Obama doing better in the polls? The answer no one wants to hear.

Austan Goolsbee (what a cool name), is an Economics Professor at University of Chicago and Barack Obama's economic advisor. It is refreshing to have a presidential candidate who surrounds himself with SMART people, for a change.
