I too resent the disingenuous quality of Danton's Hallmark greeting card posts. At least with Mudpie, we know we're getting pure, undiluted Fascism at its worst, although his blatant suck up worship of John McCain creeps me out a great deal more.
Whatever the quality of Mr. Danton's posts, where do you find any reference to the "gas tax" in this one? Or is Mr. Obama's opposition to it the truth to which you refer? I believe one question which was asked by Mr. Danton wondered who was going to ask us to sacrifice. Has Mr. Obama done that (aside from his instruction to those seeking federal help for college that they will have to earn it through public service)?
