Does the name "Walter Mondale' ring any bells?

Obama also said he would eliminate the Bush tax cuts and install what he called a “middle class tax cut.”

Blitzer asked Obama to define “middle class.”

Obama replied, “You know, I think the definitions are always a little bit rough” and said “if you’re making $100,000 a year or less, then you’re pretty solidly middle class...

Repealing the Bush tax cuts would increase taxes for those under $100,000 annual income, including folks all the way at the bottom in the 10 percent bracket. Under such a repeal, the lowest-income taxpayers currently in the 10 percent tax bracket would pay 15 percent, a roughly 50 percent increase in their current income tax burden. And we're not even talking about all the crap from the States or the problems with Social Security and Medicare.

Obama is a liar, plain and simple. Either that or he's just an idiot who doesn't prepare his own tax returns, balance his checkbook, or actually read legislation he votes on. Then again, given his latest remark about 57 states, I tend to believe he may be the latter.

Didn’t Michael Dukakis say the same thing during a debate with Reagan? That’s not how you win an election!

Obama: “I Will Raise Taxes”

Was there ever any doubt in anyone’s mind?

“we’ve got to make sure civil liberties are protected.”

(except the liberty to be secure from income confiscation when the government sees the need for social justice.)

I make $102,500 per year and I could be out of my house and on welfare (if I had no dignity) in less than 6 months if I lost my job.

I have NO IDEA how I am going to pay for college for my 3 little girls, but the $1,500 that is taken out of my paycheck every 2 weeks seems like a lot of money to me already.

(yes thats $36,000 per year to the government- I could pay off my house in 3 years with that, instead I have a 30 year mortgage)

In certain parts of the country, people making $100-200K are able ONLY to stay afloat by paying for necessities, with 10+year-old cars, NO vacations, etc. And they pay a boatload of taxes, pay through the NOSE for medical so that the illegals can get their free care, schooling, and services.

These people “doing so well” will surely help our economy MORE by paying more taxes... Atlas’s shoulders are rising.

Ok, so he told the truth for once. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
