welcome back to the ed show. we re coming to you from madison, wisconsin. three completely unsurprising things happened today. the sun came up, the sun went down and the republicans absolutely hated president obama s budget speech. house gop leaders were shocked, absolutely shocked that president obama would dare bring up the idea of taxing millionaires and billionaires. majority leader eric cantor and budget wonderboy paul ryan ignored the president s substance and focused on one thing taxes. the president goes, and delivers his speech in which the only concrete proposal that he proposed was raising taxes.
meeting here in madison, wisconsin, for my radio show. and i can tell you, i explained to the crowd some of the positions that the president took today and, of course, many of them watched the president speak today. this is going to reinvigorate the liberal base because the president, whether he intended to or not, has drawn that line in the sand, has told his base that medicare, medicaid and social security are very important, and that the rich people have to pay just a little bit more. you know, look, have we been let down, the liberal base in the past? yes, we have. did we get everything we want? no, we didn t. but i m willing to take the president at his word. and i do believe that this is the line that we ve been waiting for, and i do believe that he will go out on the campaign trail, and i do believe that he will negotiate under the terms of this speech that he gave tonight, and i think that is more than encouraging. get your cell phones out, folks. i want to know what you think.
