Oh, wait... that was Nixon. On April 1, 1970, Nixon signed a law that banned cigarette advertisements as of January 1st the following year.
Can you imagine the outrage from the Tea Party movement if Obama did anything remotely close to that? Socialism. Totalitarianism. Nazi tactics.
But that IS the tea party - fake outrage at a president because of the color of his skin. What else is there? Let's look at their criticisms of Obama.
Health care; based on a plan by the Heritage Foundation in 1993 to counter the Clintons. The Heritage plan became Mitt Romney's Massachusetts plan, which is the core of HCR. But because a black guy did it....
Trying terrorists in civilian court; Bush tried almost a hundred terrorists in civilian court. he only tried 3 in front of military tribunals and 2 of those were sent home after being found guilty. But because a black guy tries to do it....
Stimulus plan; even the American Enterprise Institute, the conservative think tank, said the stimulus worked. Beyond that, they've set Obama up in a no-win scenario. The teabaggers hate the stimulus, but had he not passed one and the economy collapsed, guess whose fault it would be? The answer does not rhyme with Tush. Blame the black guy, no matter which way he goes.
We could go on and on, but the point is made. The right is willing to sacrifice the good of the country in order to destroy Obama.
Country First - right Senator McCain?
