Public growing unhappy with tax and spend President Obama

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken since the climate change bill was passed on Friday, Fifty-six percent (56%) of Americans say they are not willing to pay more in taxes and utility costs to generate cleaner energy and fight global warming. Fifty-two percent (52%) of all adults say it is more important to keep the cost of energy as low as possible then it is to develop clean, environmentally friendly sources of energy. Sixty-three percent (63%) state creating jobs is more important than taking steps to stop global warming. For 22%, stopping global warming is more important. So why is the President so hard pressed to only listen to the small left wing of his party. When campaigning he stated he would listen to the people, and not be like President Bush when it comes to pushing his own agenda without a care in the world for what you think. This bill is supposed to be intended to reduce heat-trapping gases that some scientists say cause global warming. Even its supporters on the left say the measure, which includes a so-called “cap and trade” plan,” will have a major impact on the economy by raising taxes on middle class.
President Obama over the past 6 months has pressed upon the American people the need for every bill he has asked for from the congress pushing the government spending to trillions and trillions of dollars; even with the stimulus spending bill President Obama warned the American people if congress didn't pass the bill then we would be facing 8.5% unemployment, here we sit today just under 10%.

The president when campaigning promised he would not raise taxes on those making less then $250,000 thousand, but even then senator Obama changed that figure to suite the crowed he was campaigning to at that time. If the senate passes this bill all Americans will see their rates raised by a President only worried about his own agenda and not the promise made to Americans; While campaigning that he would not raise taxes on folks making less then $250,000, "Shame on you President Obama"
