Oh you silly people. Don't you know all of Obama’s promises come with an expiration date? /sarc off. Anyone that believes anything a DemonRAT says is either a fool or a turnip.

Saying Obama can’t control what Congress does, that they write laws he just signs ‘em, is one of the stupidest spins I’ve ever heard. If Obama never had any control over taxes, why the heck did he promise to keep them away from “the middle class” in the first place? What other campaign promises were completely empty?

What the Obama camp is really saying is that he won’t lift a finger to protect households making under $250,000 if it interferes with healthcare reform. Healthcare reform passage is, to him, more important than pushing ever so lightly for compromise.

I love how they twist the question back to the reporters - it's all their fault for trying to ask a question they have asked before -

The only good thing I saw in that clip was that two or three reporters at least didn't let him off the hook and continued the same line of questioning.....

The response from those masses that voted for Barry are where? I mean geez, they no doubt knew their taxes would go up despite Barry running on the platform that 95% of Americans will see their taxes increase by one dime. Come on....

*sound of crickets*

Obama broke that promise the second he signed the SCHIP bill.

.....TEN DAYS after he took office.

When the 2003 tax cuts expire at the end of 2010, the federal income tax rates go back up to the higher rates of the year 2000. Low income, middle income, and high income will all have their federal income taxes raised.

Yes, that is true. First off, so many don’t believe this.

Second, when that happens they will still withhold less from your paycheck. That way they can continue to claim you received a tax cut, ala the $13 extra in your pay check every moth.

They never told anyone that the rates remained the same and you will owe money as a result of the withholding break we gave you. Wait till April 15th 2010 when all see the bill.

Beside anyone with half-a-brain that thought about it, really thought, would see that MORE money would be needed to pay for their plans. LOTS MORE!

Entitlements, freebies, give-a-ways, universal healthcare, social security, medicare, the us post office ... need I go on. Dems know he rate would be back to, ah maybe 90% on those who do pay (even folks other than millionaire) to make up for the ones who don’t pay.

Funny how 95% of the people can get a tax break/refund and only 50-or-so-percent actually pay tax.

We are go to continue to get the same noise out of DC, until our boots are standing on their corrupt and traitorous throats.

Process preempts product, perhaps even precludes it.
