28. What about Obama - would you say Obama favors (smaller government with fewer services), or (larger government with more services)?

Smaller govt. Larger govt. No
fewer services more services opinion

Wow. I read some other results, and figured the polled sample was somewhat skewed, but who thinks Obama wants smaller government?

That 15% lied when they answered if you ask me. They know big government = bad to many many Americans. So since they support Obama they gave an answer that they thought must be favorable.

If they did not lie then they are just plain morons.

Obama campaigned on tax cuts for 95% of Americans and on eliminating "waste" from government.

Yeah, they're either lying or stupid. Since no one can be that stupid, they must be lying.

Right. This is what a lot of Americans believe. But he did not tell them that he would cut taxes and eliminate waste by creating more government ;)

Or maybe they saw completely through Obama's policies and thought, hey, this will result in fewer government services.

:D

In other news, 15% of America was recently found to be brain dead.

>15% have IQs below 85. Just another reason why democracy is a terrible idea.

This is why anarchism isn't so bad.

As Obama hands more of our country off to his corporatist cronies under the color of law, the influence of any legitimate government will shrink.
