Here is video of President Obama yesterday on "This Week" arguing with host George Stephanopoulos about the meaning of "tax increase." Stephanopoulos even read the definition of "tax" from the Merriam-Webster dictionary! That seemed to get under Obama's skin. He told George that the fact he looked it up in the dictionary showed he was "stretching a bit."
Stephanopoulos had asked Obama how Obama's Health Plan is not a tax - including the requirement that people buy health insurance and levying a fine if you don't. I don't think Obama convinced him. . . . (VIDEO)

Just as much, I’d say Obama got under Georgie’s skin by being his usual arrogant, condescending and disingenuous self.
So I guess the next time BHO does the “full Ginsburg”, he’ll skip ABC, too.
Georgie is a Clintonista. Not too happy with Obama.
George is obviously a racist.
This began with Romney.
Call taxes “fines” and everything will be just fine.
I couldn’t bear to watch the O on TV this weekend. I do appreciate his arrogance though, and hope it will get under the media’s skin at some point. Like when he declares his new missile defense system as “smarter”, like everyone up until him has been some stupid dope, but he has he Harvard degree, so we are all saved now.
My favorite is the way they say their plan won’t raise the deficit - IF true that means WE have to pay for it through taxes. Gee thanks.
So the dictionary is wrong? I wish I would have known. All those childhood years that slipped away because I was busy writing definitions in school. Where was Obabma when I needed him?
I wonder if George has the page with the definition of the word “is” earmarked?
Heh heh, Obama talked about getting hit by a bus. The bus!
Is this a Clinton vs Obama thing?
Correct. And his willingness to go after Obama a bit signals something from the Clinton camp—but I’m not sure what.
Yeah, because looking up a definition and making sure everyone is on the same page is a sign of weakness! [/sarc]
{ Stupid mathematicians and lawyers with their definition sections! ;) }
It’s an old trick, but Romney was—and is—absolutely shameless about it.
His arrogance is beginning to offend even the Left.
The look on George’s face is pure distain for the barry. And about the car insurance, you do not have to own a car.
But the more barry talks the more his numbers go down on health insurance mandates.
George is getting a little to uppity.
Obama is living in a Alice in Wonderland world...words mean what he wants them to mean. Only in the wonderful world of democrats tax isn’t a tax, wonder what is nex
