This mantra, repeated frequently, helped bring an end to George H.W. Bush’s White House.

Too bad Obama is so long-winded – at least the Bush sound bite was succinct…

Mew

a politician lies?

His lips move.

Sorry, it was an old joke.

Or after Hyperinflation caused by POTUS policies?

Obama is promoting new legislation that represents the far-left ‘foot in the door’. The VAT tax, if ever enacted, would start out at a low, innocuous rate, and then, when it did not generate projected revenue, would be increased incrementally until it reached European levels.
Beware of an Obama making promises! He never tells the whole truth. He always has something up his sleeve.
This is one more piece of evidence that Obama wants to destroy the free market in the U. S.

at this president flapping across the fruited plain in order to further spellbind his minions with clamors for regulatory reform that doesn’t include Freddie or Fannie.

I’m amused by the fact that the majority of people do not trust this government, as shown in a NYT/CBS poll.

I’m amused and inspired by Michael Barone’s latest piece highlighting the disparity in the support of Obama between middle class voters and others.

I’m amused by the fact that Obama has to pretend to be amused by something that indeed is troubling him and his co-conspirators.

Great job, Moe. especially the money quote: “although I don’t know why. Anything that we get from the man will just be another lie.”

Exactly.

Activists Taking Action: Unified Patriots

“I pledge that under my plan, no one making less than $250,000 a year will see any type of tax increase,” he said. “Not income tax, not capital gains taxes, not ANY kind of tax.”

“they should be thanking me”, the king says to his subjects.
I think we have a nut in the WH.

In other startling news, the sun rose in the east today, gravity is discovered to hold things down, and Francisco Franco is still dead.

One way to reach that 3 percent goal, by the calculations of Mr. Obama’s economic team: a 5 percent value-added tax, which would generate enough revenue to simultaneously permit the reduction in corporate tax rates Republicans favor.

It won’t insure a 3 percent goal and it won’t make their social programs any more viable simply because the government can’t keep their hands off the money. It finds excuses to “rob Peter to pay Paul” which is exactly what happened with SS in the first place. When it was deemed a welfare program by the courts that spelled the end of the Ponzi scheme and Congress has not been able to keep their hands out of the till ever since. It was a doomed program from the start but Congress hastened the end rather than prop it up as claimed.

This is what happens when you put people who can’t control themselves into positions of power. In their moral relativist world there is no right and wrong, just who holds the power gets the greater share.

under “his” plan. he’s free & clear if he signs into law someone else’s plan, eh?

If the US Tax Code was 100% confiscatory, and in the face of there being no possible way ever again to increase taxes, would THAT bring an end to systemic deficit spending?

“The Obama administration has privately concluded that a cap and trade law would cost American taxpayers up to $200 billion a year, the equivalent of

hiking personal income taxes by about 15 percent.

A previously unreleased analysis prepared by the U.S. Department of Treasury says the total in new taxes would be between $100 billion to $200 billion a year. At the upper end of the administration’s estimate, the cost per American household would be an extra $1,761 a year.”

The last line of the post says it all: “Anything we get from the man will just be another lie”. You can take that to the bank!

How could Americans been so bamboozled by this flim flam man? He just lies whenever he opens his mouth and he is destroying our country!

“nobody believed that he literally meant what he said. After all, it just wasn’t possible to install all the new programs he wanted without raising taxes beyond the ‘rich.’ We all knew he was making a politician’s promise.”

Yeah, right. In fact, that was what John McCain, in his own inept way, tried to tell us during the “financial” debate. Yet, the 52 decided to believe Obi Won Kebama rather than Johnny Mac.

Too bad the apologists don’t actually make the full statement–when they’re forced to address the issue, they stop after the first sentence.

Obama’s promises.

After Chris Wallace stated that “What the President said [Tea Partiers should be thanking him for reducing taxes] isn’t true…. I have here [shows a one-page report], from the Republican staff of the Ways and Means Committee, the President’s record on taxes since becoming President… he has increased taxes, enacted into law, tax increases totaling $670 billion dollars over the next ten years, including fourteen that specifically violate his pledge not to increase taxes on the middle class, people making less than $250,000 a year….”

O’Reilly replied, deprecatingly, “OK, but it all is sleight-of-hand because the President’s pledge is income taxes, and then there are other taxes, and that’s where they’re gonna really explode next year; I think you’ll see a national sales tax as well.”

Apparently he completely missed all those speeches that are typified by the video.
