Tomorrow is Tax Day, and conservatives across the country are planning "Tea Parties," intended to be grass-roots "revolts" against the Obama administration's economic policies thus far. Though organized independent of the Republican Party, a number of officeholders and candidates are planning to attend local events.
At the White House, Robert Gibbs said that he's not sure if President Obama is aware of the planned demonstrations. He will, however, mark the day with a White House event "to signal the important steps in the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment plan that cut taxes for 95 percent of working families in America," Gibbs said.
"We'll use tomorrow to highlight individual instances and families that have seen their taxes cut," he said. "Americans will see more money into their pockets as a direct result of the making work pay tax cut that the president both campaigned on and passed through Congress."

Yeah, right.
And the trillion dollar tax-hiker will be delivering his message via "Tea"leprompter...
Here are some pennies for some of you peasants. The shiny pennies will hopefully distract you from the digging that I shall do in your wallet...and your kids’ wallets.
Idiots, Businesses don’t pay these increased taxes. They either go out of business laying people off or pass it on to 95% of Americans.
Econ101, Idiots.
When is someone going to call them on this.
I’ve never been able to place a Blog entry into Breaking News.
How did you do that??
under Bush I got a nice tax cut and a useful check
this year I got zip....
Yes the incredibly insignificant and laughable $ 400 dollars one time tax credit for people making $ 75,000 or less which amounts to 8 dollars per week. On the other hand he is adding trillions of dollars in additional tax increases and will allow the Bush tax cuts to expire and then each tax payer will be paying much more in taxes.
The “stimulus” package only gave very limited tax credits, not tax cuts.
- $400 for singles making $70K or less.
- $800 for joint filers making $140K or less
CO2 a threat under Clean Water Act?
- EPA agrees to study acidic seas; move adds to regulation...

I don’t believe this for a second. They think I’m upper middle class. Even if I did get a slight “tax-cut”, it’s not going to make up for the PAY-cut my employer gave me so he could pay his higher taxes.
Officeholders and candidates will be speaking at the Tea Parties? Oh, this should be good!
Any current officeholder who gets up on stage had better be wearing a helmet and a stain-resistant suit! And if any of them voted for the stimulus package (without reading the damn thing) then they’d better know how to scrape tar and feathers off their miserable hides.
Candidates are OK but they had better say EXACTLY the right things (return to the Constitution, slash federal spending to include entire departments, eliminate the IRS, etc.). Or else.
Oh yeah, this could be lots of fun!
The Messiah said there are no earmarks and pork in his stimulus plan. If the Messiah says he’s pro-tax cut, then it must be true.
the more they use the phrase 95 percent the more fake and phoney it sounds. I”m so tired of hearing tax cuts for 95 percent and anyone over $250K.
It is beyond stupid
He doesn’t know that tens of thousands of people across the country are taking to the streets in protest against our government. Oh, please. Would they lie?
These so-called “tea parties” are not about taxes. The protests are about all the marxist crap and enormous debt Obama and congress are putting on the backs of the American people for now and generations to come. It is about a movement to save our country from destruction by hoodlums and marxists.
.
“I’m going to bankrupt the coal industry!” (58% of US power generation!)
“Electric power costs will skyrocket! (for you peons!)
“Gasoline prices ‘just went up much to fast’ this time!”
“No nukes!”
“No offshore drilling!”
“No ANWAR drilling!”
“I will provide energy with wind and solar!”
“....maybe a little blow....”
“...can I please eat my $100/lb. Yagwa steak!”
Is this the tax cut that returns a whopping $13 a week to taxpayers? Too bad the congress didn’t return its automatic pay raise while they were at it.
And too bad Obama can’t seem to travel with less than 500 adoring employees. How much did that cost the taxpayers?
This is a laugher.
No one really expected Obama to just let the issue go, to cede it to the “Tea Party” crowds, did you? He’s gonna throw out his propaganda, and the MSM will lap it up like Cats at a bowl of warm milk.
:See,” they will say, “these few, poor, pitiful fools are no threat to us...” Hmmm...Sorry, I seem to be hearing the voice of Emperor Palpatine for some reason...
I Hear America Singing
by Walt Whitman
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand
singing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,
The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy’s on his way in the morning, or
at noon intermission or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of
the girl sewing or washing,
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the dayat night the party of young fellows,
robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

They say SO MANY LIES....you’d think even hard core libs would start questioning them....wouldn’t you?
What a putz.
I’ve been commenting less lately but this one I have to respond to.
This arrogant SOB gibbs ...I’m glad they aren’t going to be monitoring tomorrow’s activity ...all the better to sneak up on them and drive them out of town on a rail!
Puss sucking creeps.
Not a single one of Obama’s ‘tax cuts’ are genuine pro-growth pro-work tax cuts that cut the taxes on work, savings, production or income.
They are all ‘tax credit’ welfare payments, subsidies for following the social engineers ways (buy a hybrid!) and/or something-for-nothing giveaways.
As such they are poison for a free economy.
Yes, but look on the bright side. He is so insecure he feels he has to steal our thunder and tout his own phony tax cuts.
Well said. That is why my sign tomorrow will be: "STOP OBAMA'S SOCIALISM!" that is what the TEA Party is about.
mmmmm....First it was the timing of the release of the DHS hit piece and now I wonder what TIME this so-called White House event is going to take place (surely sometime late afternoon) and whether or not it will require media coverage (surely it will). I’ve also heard that the captain and crew just happen to be returning stateside tomorrow at about the same time as many of the events are to be covered. Couldn’t get them home any sooner doncha know.
I know. That was the laugh-out-loud line of this. Doesn’t KNOW?
ROFL.
Maybe his nose is too far up the new lead dog’s butt.
I have a real tough time believing that 0bama does not know about what’s happening tomorrow. I think that was Gibbs little frat boy way of being snarky.
Raaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhght, Mr. Gibbs. Tell us another big fat lie!
Tomorrow!!!! With our signs at the Tea Parties!
Yeah, like he didn't bow to that Saudi either.
The $20 every two weeks sure as hell doesn't cover the 10% paycut I'm now enjoying from the 0bama economy.
Plus living in Ca. state taxes now more than eat up the crumbles your tax cut serves up.
Guess I'll never fly that St Louis pizza chef to my house to make me a pizza and my wife will not have a 24/7 make-up artist attending her every need.
Hey 0bama, I'm clearly worse off than I was before you took office and ITS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.
Is it a tax cut or a withholding adjustment?
"Congratulations, the IRS has accepted your meager tribute payment. Your money will help to fund the tiny fraction of our pork laden budget and the stimulus packages that are sure to leave us with no choice but to take even more from you next year. You will be happy to know that millions of poor Americans without the desire to work as hard as you have been given some of your tax money as part of the Making Work Pay program. It's only fair because you are obviously overpaid and they deserve a share of your salary too."
Bring it on!
This IS, after all, a debate. Will it be slavery or freedom?
I want to see commercials to educate the public.
Aren’t education commercials supposed to be free?
I bet his teleprompter knows about them.
Evidently Obama knows that his base is so moronic that if he says twenty times a day that he has cut their taxes, they will think he has cut their taxes.
Subtle hint to President Obama...
You actually have to have legislation that cut taxes, you moron!
You haven't done anything, yet....just an empty suit full of empty rhetoric.
When you post, go to “Highlights”. The second topic down says, “Breaking News”. Just click/check it.
“We’ll use tomorrow to highlight individual instances and families that have seen their taxes cut,” he said. “Americans will see more money into their pockets as a direct result of the making work pay tax cut that the president both campaigned on and passed through Congress.”

Now that’s some funny stuff. As if he doesn’t know what tomorrow is. What an complete IDIOT he is. He acts like a 5 year old. He cannot take any criticism whatsoever. suck it up zer0... it comes with the territory and it’s going to last as long as you are in the WH and long after. Especially when you have to finally show your birth certificate. The REAL one.
BWAHAHAHA! Did you see his CYA speech today? He knows what’s coming.
Yep.
Also, that $13/week should be saved to pay the every-increasing fees (read: taxes), such as auto registration, inspection, tobacco, alcohol, value-added taxes, etc.
He was watching CNN. He probably has no idea.
