Obama Says 75% of the American People Agree With Him
Breitbart ^ | 2/21/13 | Debra Heine

Posted on 02/21/2013 9:17:38 PM PST by Nachum

In response to Obama: Cuts that Hurt the Economy are GOP's Raison D'etre:

Several outlets are noting Obama's comments on Al Sharpton's radio show, but the Free Beacon was kind enough to put it on You Tube...

(Trying to wrap my head around the fact that the President of the United States went on that ridiculous race hustler's radio show...ugh...so mortifying.)

But just listen to Obama. He says 75% of the American people agree with him, that the way to reduce our deficit sensibly is through his combination of spending cuts and tax revenue (but mostly tax revenue), as if saying so will make it true.

Since Republicans have already compromised on taxes, how does one square that with the Pew Research poll, John Hayward cited earlier:

70 percent of the American people, across the political spectrum, think deficit reduction is the top national priority... and 73 percent of them want it done mostly or entirely through spending cuts. Only 19 percent take the Obama position that the deficit should be reduced mostly or entirely through tax increases. (Then you'd have to factor in the people who agree with Obama's other, default position, which is that the deficit doesn't really matter.)

Here’s a poll question the November election didn’t address:

“How many people would rather see Obama in jail, than in the White House?”

He lies. He always lies. Nothing he says can be believed because he is a liar.

His teleprompter has a 'filter' that 'sorts out' facts in order to allow them out thru his mouth.

Obama’s a serial liar. It’s his stock in trade and so far it seems to be working pretty well for him. I’m hoping this all doesn’t end well for him and he gets what he so richly deserves.
