Yuppers, he wants to raid the “rich”... the 2% of our society.

And when that's not enough he'll come after the middle class next.

Palin just called him out on his BS with this tweet:

Obama lies, economy dies. He says “default’s catastrophic” then opposes deal to avert it. Nonsense. Gold stars to GOP trying to deal w/this.

Given the results of the election in November, I think Obama is sorely mistaken. That 80% number was pulled out of his but.

50% pay no taxes!!!

And there lies the problem. Everyone, including those out of work, those on welfare and those earning minimum wage, etc. should have some skin in the game. Minimum of $1000 tax per filer per year.

Why should anyone have all of the benefits of living here for free while someone who has worked hard carries thousands of people on their backs.

"You have 80% of the American people..."

Is K-12 included in "American people"? Are the mentally challenged, homeless, travellers in foreign lands? Or is it magically only "American taxpayers" in that number. Or is it 80% of the 300 Dems who answered their phones on Wednesday, estimated to be accurate within 2.3 percentage points, 11 times out of 17?

Give me one tiny little break.....80% of what and how?

I just can't believe how stupid his stupid writers are, who think Americans are stupid. Is he stupid?

There will be a flight of capital.... but, that is his intent.

“The problem is members of Congress are dug in ideologically.”

Projection alert!!!

Remember how in the cold war the USSR would accuse the US of exactly what they were doing?

Same thing here.

Every statement about polls, about being stubborn or dug in, about demanding action, is and should be turned around.

80% of Americans do NOT want a bogus smoke-n-mirrors ‘i will cut spending 9 years from now’ and a tax increase. They dont want that.

He needs to add to his “bribe bucks” account and to the slush fund that pays for “cost - of - doing - business - essentials” like the 8+% pay increase for his Whitehouse staff.

You should see the comments at The Hill. 99 to 1 are screaming bloody murder at Obama.
