On Tax Day, President Obama Locked in Ideological Battle With Conservatives
By Michael Mcauliff
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU
WASHINGTON - President Obama is countering "tea party" tax protests by conservatives Wednesday with the personal stories of everyday Americans - and how they'll benefit from his plans.
And one of them, Latoya Malone, is from West Hempstead, N.Y.
Malone, according to the White House, works for New York City, and is using the $8,000 tax credit from the stimulus bill to buy her first home.
There are other folks from all around the country who will join Obama in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House around noon, all of them picked to show how Obama's tax cuts are helping them.
"Since the Recovery Act was signed into law we have delivered real and tangible progress for the American people," he said. "I am proud to announce that my administration has lessened the tax burden on working families while also restoring some balance to the tax code."
Obama's event will be competing with the so-called tea party protests all around the country.
Former House Speaker and potential 2012 GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich will lead a rally near New York's City Hall Wednesday evening.

Ultra-Left Wing Liberals Bankrupt Our Children
All of this spending by the Obama administration will have to be paid back by our children and their children. He is bankrupting their future chances at the American dream by creating a crushing debt and long term inflation.
Obama's vision is that 'we the people' are incapable of managing our lives and that we need politicians to tell us what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.
I have yet to meet a government that was innovative, profitable, or could raise the overall standard of living. As we drift to becoming a socialist society, all will see the misery that will be his legacy. When that time comes the American public will remove from office the silver tongued politicans that started us down the path to ruin.
After the Tea party
Now that the display of dissatisfaction with the current tax code AND the uncontrollable spending of our government has been clearly demonstrated, it is incombant on all concerned, responsible thinking citizens to FOLLOW UP WITH CONGRESS by calling their representatives to reinforce out opposition to the senseless, ultimatly destructive direction they have taken in the past six months.
As to the critics of our efforts to bring this to national attention...wake up. If you are a benefactor of the government largess, you are being seduced to support a government who wants to decide and control your fiscal future. If thats what your want for yourself and your children, then your onn the right tract.
right winger's
the pigs are whining, and the GOP are among them. God bless yours,and ours obama.
