President Barack Obama said Thursday he’s amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day.

Obama told a fundraiser in Miami that he’s cut taxes, contrary to the claims of protesters.

“You would think they’d be saying thank you,” he said.

At that, many in the crowd at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts stood and yelled, “Thank you!”

The problem with that line of thought is that it is official White House and Democratic Party policy to state that all spending and deficits generated by the Obama Presidency are the last guy's fault. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi are both on record as saying the 9 trillion dollar expansion to the National Debt for THIS fiscal year is Bush's fault.

Arathain:

That doesn't matter -- the Bush Shield is in full effect and this Administration and its Party's Congress have no desire to make themselves accountable for anything. The failure of the not yet implemented Health Care Reform Act is already being blamed on Bush.

I'm not so sure that's even the case. Most of the T-bills sold to finance Obama's deficit spending were sold at 3.8% or lower, if you look at the core CPI with housing stripped out, (it's still crashing) it's pretty evident that everyone who bought those is going to end up actually paying the government for the privilege of lending it money.
