For those of us who want to watch and analyze, here is a live thread.
If you feel like not giving Obambi the ratings, no one will fault you. You can check here for notes on gaffes, bs, or other flubs by the Obmessiah.
“Honest question...What is the proposed floor for the tax hikes? $250,000, $200,000 or $150,000. Did he clarify?
I predicted to friends several weeks ago that it would drop to less than 6 figures after he got in office. I really did not believe that it would start dropping before the election!”
The proposed floor (if you could hear Pelosi, Reid, Dean and Obama speak privately) is “you work, we take more.”
It’s a repeat of Clinton’s 1992 plan: BS endlessly about a tax cut, and then (expletive deleted) everyone with a job as soon as elected.
“Back when Mr. Clinton was campaigning for president in 1992, he made a pretty direct pitch: Raise taxes on people making more than $200,000, and use those revenues to fund tax relief for the “forgotten middle class.”
In an October presidential debate, then-Gov. Clinton laid out the marginal-rate increase he wanted and some of his plans for the revenue that would be brought in. He followed with a pledge:
“Now, I’ll tell you this,” he said. “I will not raise taxes on the middle class to pay for these programs. If the money does not come in there to pay for these programs, we will cut other government spending, or we will slow down the phase-in of the programs.”
Mr. Clinton, of course, won that election. And as the inauguration approached, he began backtracking from his promise. At a Jan. 14, 1993, press conference in New Hampshire, he claimed that it was the media that had played up a middle-class tax cut, not him. A month later, he announced his actual plan before a joint session of Congress.
On page one of the New York Times, the paper described the fate of the middle-class tax cut this way: “Families earning as little as $20,000 a year — members of the ‘forgotten middle class’ whose taxes he promised during his campaign to cut — will also be asked to send more dollars to Washington under the President’s plan.””

You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
You really are a heel.
You’re as cuddly as a cactus,
You’re as charming as an eel.
Mr. Grinch.
You’re a bad banana
With a greasy black peel.
You’re a monster, Mr. Grinch.
Your heart’s an empty hole.
Your brain is full of spiders,
You’ve got garlic in your soul.
Mr. Grinch.
I wouldn’t touch you, with a
thirty-nine-and-a-half foot pole.
You’re a vile one, Mr. Grinch.
You have termites in your smile.
You have all the tender sweetness
Of a seasick crocodile.
Mr. Grinch.
Given the choice between the two of you
I’d take the seasick crockodile.
You’re a foul one, Mr. Grinch.
You’re a nasty, wasty skunk.
Your heart is full of unwashed socks
Your soul is full of gunk.
Mr. Grinch.
The three words that best describe you,
are, and I quote: “Stink. Stank. Stunk.”
You’re a rotter, Mr. Grinch.
You’re the king of sinful sots.
Your heart’s a dead tomato splot
With moldy purple spots,
Mr. Grinch.
Your soul is an apalling dump heap overflowing
with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable
rubbish imaginable,
Mangled up in tangled up knots.
You nauseate me, Mr. Grinch.
With a nauseaus super-naus.
You’re a crooked jerky jockey
And you drive a crooked horse.
Mr. Grinch.
You’re a three decker saurkraut and toadstool
sandwich
With arsenic sauce.
A bit off topic.
PALIN JUST CALLED THE LA TIMES OBAMA’S PET NEWSPAPER!!!!!!!!
SHE JUST RIPPED THE LA TIMES A COLLECTIVE NEW ORAFICE!!!
(they probably enjoyed the collective part)
Its the same idea, but at least with a colonoscopy you get drugs to help!
Just wondering.. if you have government run healthcare and you are dissatisfied with the service, who do you complain to?
Jack Ryan????
RE: “Racist but still voting Obama. What a joke”
************
I know several white racists who are voting fauxbama; one is a teacher whose union is demanding they vote for the Zero, another an elderly relative and a third a neighbor who just HAS to vote for the “Dem”
An Obama infomercial is more like an enema.....
So it is homophobic?
DAM*...hope the Phillies winnin the serious doesnt help obama....there are enough whackos to attribute his infomercial timing to throw the game off just long enough to ensure a win...one guy here is already saying it....jeeze
His hands are still white - oops I forgot Zero is just half black, I mean white...oh crud.
Thank you, for the heads up from your area.
And come Tuesday morning, I will DEFINITELY take a hoot ; p
How many “Joe the Plumbers” are going to come out of this infomercial? Are they going to be treated the same way as Joe did by the media????
BTW did everyone notice it is 200,000 PER FAMILY now?
not per business or per person? PER FAMILY!!!!!!
also
did everyone notice how obama is still pushing euro-socialist employment policies.
WHY WOULD ANY COMPANY take a 3000 tax credit against a 100,000 liability to fire the employee.
Obama is looking to KILL SMALL BUSINESS!!!
he came across as the biggest con man in history.
EMAIL YOU ANALYSIS AND SHOW OBAMA’s DISSEMBLING!!!
GET the word out TODAY!
GET THE WORD OUT HARD!!!
HIT THEM HARD!
