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.)

depends on what you mean by Americans, 75%, and agree.. but aside from those words..
He’s going to lie til his lips turn blue
75% of Americans don’t give a dam who’s in power in Washington as long as the checks keep coming...
It’s the biggest con job in history.
Lies, Lies and Damn Lies.
Just another lie in a long list...Joe Wilson got it right.
We have no verifiable proof he ever went to school.
Oh, I thought we trusted him and just took his word for it. LOL! Yeah, right! You are correct for sure. Since we have no definitive proof, not only does it appear that he skipped all of his classes (don’t like to use the word class in the same sentence when referencing them), he may have skipped the whole university. Seriously, where are the ex-girlfriends/boyfriends (whichever) and why only a few dolts have come forward? And saying they kind of remember him. I could find someone that would swear they saw me on some campus somewhere. You used to be able to get pretty decent phony sheepskins out of the back of the comic books. ‘Cept this ain’t funny!
Is it possible the % sign was put there by mistake and the editors didn’t catch it(no shock these days) and they really meant 75 people agree with him and not 75%? That sounds more like it. That’s a number I could believe. As for the 97% of the black community that voted for him, they don’t care if (I guess there’s no “if” to it) he’s lying as long as he remains the first halfrican-American prez.
67.3% of statistics are made up on the spot.
There are lies, damned lies, and then there are statistics.
