I regret to say that I’ve ran across a few con artists in my life and know that they use double speak to confound you, that’s exactly what Obama was doing. Did anyone count how many times he said “the American People”?

Obama on Friday said he would not support a $2.4 trillion plan to reduce the federal deficit without some tax hikes to increase revenues.

Almost 80% of the American people don’t want any debt ceiling-raising deal.

But look how valuable one misleading and misapplied poll result can be for our Propagandist-in-Chief.

50% of the American people don’t pay taxes and the polls show 47% support Obama,so they care less about tax increases.
The slow ones think if he taxes the evil rich they will get more free lunches.The Obama cheer leaders (media)pimp the same idea.

He has not been in touch his entire life.

Look at who raised this guy, what he was taught growing up, then where he studied, who his "friends" were and what his career path was.

Can any of you relate to what we know to be his history? I can't.

I don't care if his birth certificate says he was born in Kansas to a couple of farmers, he is in no sense of the word, “American”.

That would be the 50% that pay no taxes now and don’t expect to

plus Gates, Buffett, Immelt, Spielberg, Streisand, Moore, Hanks, and other Hollywooders who spend millions for lawyers to form trusts and CPA’s to find shelters for their money

It appears he polled only his base, the looters and the moochers.

I'm surprised it was only 80%...

If 80% WANT more taxes, nothing is stopping them from PAYING more taxes. So let that 80% pay more taxes than they owe. There, problem solved.

Has the man completely lost all conection to reality? Or am I just in a 20% minority?

He's never had a connection with reality: he's a Communist. It's logical the 50% of Americans who pay no taxes at all would demand more free stuff from the people who actually do pay. They're insatiable. But I have no idea who he thinks that other 30% is.
