Obama's Most Telling Answer

Liberal columnist E.J. Dionne got it right when he recognized that the charitable deduction question was the most significant moment of the recent presidential press conference. (Now no one can say I never agree with a liberal.)

Like so many of President Obama's off-prompter remarks, his answer on charitable deductions exposes him for what he is: an ideologically driven man whose philosophy is based on falsehoods and whose public persona is merely a marketing scheme to acquire the power he really wants.

In the press conference, The Politico's Mike Allen asked: "Are you reconsidering your plan to cut the interest rate deduction for mortgages and for charities and do you regret having proposed that in the first place?"

Obama responded:

No, I think it's the right thing to do; where we've got to make some difficult choices. Here's what we did with respect to tax policy. What we said was that over the last decade the average worker the average family have seen their wages and incomes flat; even at times where, supposedly, we were in times of an economic boom.

Without hesitation, Obama begins his answer with deception.

I'm still waiting for Obama to name just one wasteful government program he wants to cut.

Outside of the Defense budget, of course.

I’m still waiting for Obama to name just one wasteful government program he wants to cut.

Why would a Socialist think that any Government spending our the peoples money was wasteful?
