The Examiner ^ | June 29, 2009 | Heather Hogue

"The president has said in the past that he doesn't believe taxing health care benefits at any level is necessarily the best way to go here. He still believes that, but there are a number of formulations and we'll wait and see," explained Obama's senior advisor, David Axelrod, to George Stephanopoulos on ABC's "This Week."

Elections do have consequences. TEA PARTY is only the beginning. Just wait until they complete writing the waxman bill they passed. Talk about no representation period.

Why, I can’t believe the occupant of the White House would go back against his word! That’s so unlike him!

He betrayed those suckers pretty fast. I figured he’d at least way a year. Oh well, gotta fund socialism somehow.

I've worked harder than I've ever worked in my life to meet that goal. But I can't.

You’re not expecting consistency and intellectual integrity from the MSM are you?

Unfortunately, all those “suckers” got exactly what they deserved for failing to adequately evaluate the potential that was Team Obama. But so did the rest of us, and we did not even vote for this “change”.

We may only hope, that the calamitous times ahead, the now failing nascent obama regime will be unable to muster sufficient effective force to carry out their ambitious schemes. Time for a little civil disobedience.

They may throw a lot of people in jail, but isn’t that just the very thing that the OLD government in this country was already doing?

Robert Gibbs:”What president DOH!BAMA meant was, there will be no middle class after we finish taxing them”.

It takes a commie to explain commie lies. What else can I say?

Obama made promises and lied to get elected, just like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

Now his chief propagandist weasesls his way around the question.

Folks - that’s how marxists and communists work. Been that way for decades. Same old, same old - treason.
