Tomorrow is Tax Day, and conservatives across the country are planning "Tea Parties," intended to be grass-roots "revolts" against the Obama administration's economic policies thus far. Though organized independent of the Republican Party, a number of officeholders and candidates are planning to attend local events.
At the White House, Robert Gibbs said that he's not sure if President Obama is aware of the planned demonstrations. He will, however, mark the day with a White House event "to signal the important steps in the Economic Recovery and Reinvestment plan that cut taxes for 95 percent of working families in America," Gibbs said.
"We'll use tomorrow to highlight individual instances and families that have seen their taxes cut," he said. "Americans will see more money into their pockets as a direct result of the making work pay tax cut that the president both campaigned on and passed through Congress."

No one really expected Obama to just let the issue go, to cede it to the “Tea Party” crowds, did you? He’s gonna throw out his propaganda, and the MSM will lap it up like Cats at a bowl of warm milk.
:See,” they will say, “these few, poor, pitiful fools are no threat to us...” Hmmm...Sorry, I seem to be hearing the voice of Emperor Palpatine for some reason...
I Hear America Singing
by Walt Whitman
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work,
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand
singing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands,
The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy’s on his way in the morning, or
at noon intermission or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of
the girl sewing or washing,
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young fellows,
robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

They say SO MANY LIES....you’d think even hard core libs would start questioning them....wouldn’t you?
What a putz.
I’ve been commenting less lately but this one I have to respond to.
This arrogant SOB gibbs ...I’m glad they aren’t going to be monitoring tomorrow’s activity ...all the better to sneak up on them and drive them out of town on a rail!
Puss sucking creeps.
Not a single one of Obama’s ‘tax cuts’ are genuine pro-growth pro-work tax cuts that cut the taxes on work, savings, production or income.
They are all ‘tax credit’ welfare payments, subsidies for following the social engineers ways (buy a hybrid!) and/or something-for-nothing giveaways.
As such they are poison for a free economy.
Yes, but look on the bright side. He is so insecure he feels he has to steal our thunder and tout his own phony tax cuts.
Well said. That is why my sign tomorrow will be: "STOP OBAMA'S SOCIALISM!" that is what the TEA Party is about.
mmmmm....First it was the timing of the release of the DHS hit piece and now I wonder what TIME this so-called White House event is going to take place (surely sometime late afternoon) and whether or not it will require media coverage (surely it will). I’ve also heard that the captain and crew just happen to be returning stateside tomorrow at about the same time as many of the events are to be covered. Couldn’t get them home any sooner doncha know.
I know. That was the laugh-out-loud line of this. Doesn’t KNOW?
ROFL.
Maybe his nose is too far up the new lead dog’s butt.
I have a real tough time believing that 0bama does not know about what’s happening tomorrow. I think that was Gibbs little frat boy way of being snarky.
Raaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhght, Mr. Gibbs. Tell us another big fat lie!
Tomorrow!!!! With our signs at the Tea Parties!
Yeah, like he didn't bow to that Saudi either.
The $20 every two weeks sure as hell doesn't cover the 10% paycut I'm now enjoying from the 0bama economy.
Plus living in Ca. state taxes now more than eat up the crumbles your tax cut serves up.
Guess I'll never fly that St Louis pizza chef to my house to make me a pizza and my wife will not have a 24/7 make-up artist attending her every need.
Hey 0bama, I'm clearly worse off than I was before you took office and ITS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE.
Is it a tax cut or a withholding adjustment?
"Congratulations, the IRS has accepted your meager tribute payment. Your money will help to fund the tiny fraction of our pork laden budget and the stimulus packages that are sure to leave us with no choice but to take even more from you next year. You will be happy to know that millions of poor Americans without the desire to work as hard as you have been given some of your tax money as part of the Making Work Pay program. It's only fair because you are obviously overpaid and they deserve a share of your salary too."
Bring it on!
This IS, after all, a debate. Will it be slavery or freedom?
I want to see commercials to educate the public.
Aren’t education commercials supposed to be free?
I bet his teleprompter knows about them.
