Is Annie Kuster Still Obama’s Biggest Supporter In Congress?

With Barack Obama’s 7^th State of the Union in the books, the President is still batting a thousand in his calls raising taxes.  You would think a President and Democratic Party that took it on the chin at the ballot box this past November would be a little less likely to go back to their same failed tax-and-spend policies. But this is no ordinary Democratic Party.  This is a party led by Barack Obama and, of course, his self-proclaimed biggest fan, Annie Kuster.

Annie Kuster describes herself as “one of the strongest supporters” of Obama “in the entire United States Congress.”  Does that mean Kuster agrees and supports the $320 billion in tax increases that Barack Obama proposed during his speech tonight? This includes a 4.2% increase on the capital gains and dividends tax rate; a 20% hike in the death tax; a bank tax; a tax on middle class families saving for their children’s college; and tax increases in retirement plans and new employer mandates.

Will Kuster stand up to these $320 billion in new taxes, or will she once again warmly embrace him and his failed polices?

NRCC Comment: “Annie Kuster’s steadfast support of Barack Obama’s tax-and-spend policies demonstrate just how out-of-touch she is with everyday New Hampshire families.  Annie Kuster needs to spend less time worrying if she is the strongest supporter of Barack Obama in the entire United States Congress and more time worrying about how his proposed $320 billion in higher taxes will adversely affect New Hampshire families.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
