Obama hammers Romney tax plan in Ohio

Stumping for votes in the pivotal battleground of Ohio, President Barack Obama hammered Mitt Romney's tax plan on Wednesday, highlighting a new study that said the Republican challenger's blueprint could leave poor and middle-class Americans paying more to the IRS to offset tax cuts for the wealthiest.
"If Gov. Romney wants to keep his word and pay for this plan, then he'd have to cut tax breaks that middle-class families depend on to pay for your home, the home mortgage deduction; to pay for your health care, the health care deduction; (or) to send your kids to college," the president said.
"And here's the thing: He's not asking you to contribute more to pay down the deficit, he's not asking you to pay more to invest in our children's education, or rebuild our roads or put more folks back to work," Obama said in Mansfield, Ohio. "He's asking you to pay more so that people like him can get a big tax cut."
The Romney campaign charged that "glaring gaps" in the study invalidated its analysis and accused Obama of trying to distract voters from the sputtering economy.
Both sides were sparring over a new independent study by the Brookings Institution think tank and the Tax Policy Center that found Romney's tax plan would leave millionaires paying less in taxes and the poor and middle class paying more. (Romney aides noted that one of the study's authors is a former member of Obama's Council of Economic Advisers. But another author, William Gale, served on President George H. W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisors.

Whoever digs a pit will fall into it, and a stone will come back on him who starts it rolling.

Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, “The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so practice and observe whatever they tell you—but not what they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.

If I were with a group of like minded individuals, it might be fun to go to an Obamugabe speech, and just laugh at all his attack lines. Genuine laughter, as if he is joking...it would put the ridicule right in his face.
Not over the top laughter, let it be heard and seen, then let it die down and let him go on a bit...and then laugh again.
He gives the same stump speeches over and over, so picking good times to mock him would take a little bit of research, but it might be fun.
