For the record, I like Obama, but do not yet trust him on tax policy.
We need radically lower taxes at all levels of the U.S. - individual, corporate, etc.
This will necessitate a MUCH smaller government, at the local, state and federal levels, and a MUCH smaller military - so be it.
Having said all of that, few people, if any, could be worse than Bush - a man who talks like a Republican, spends like a socialist (and bankrupts our future since he spends like a socialist while cutting taxes - a toxic combination), wants us to believe he want less government intrusion while he seeks the broadest powers for the government it intrude since the cross-dressing Herbert Hoover was at the helm of the FBI, and is as inept at foreign policy as any President we've ever had.
Bush truly puts the superlative in "worst" ever.
