A referendum in Colorado to raise nearly $3 billion in new taxes for education went down in flames yesterday, losing across the state by about two-to-one. Many local bond issues also failed.
Obama carried Colorado in 2008 (Bush carried it in both 2000 and 2004), and clearly hoped to carry it next year, having visited the state twice in recent weeks. So it has got to be very bad news for him that a swing state is clearly not in a mood to increase government spending even when it’s “for the children.”
uh, yes new taxes if you elected Obama! Don;t make me remind you he is a liberal Black man, the only kind that matter! So those of you that elected Oabam in COlorado need to apologize for bein sooo greedy, and child-hating, as to not care about increaseing an already wealthy teachers salary! Shame on you for your racism sexism and bigotry! You should be taxed immediately!
