"Off to the gulag!"

On MSNBC, Kelly O'Donnell reports the White House is open to taxing soda and booze to pay for health care.
"I can make a firm pledge," he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. "Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."
Obama just poured grain alcohol on that promise and set it alight.
MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall refers to "food deserts" where soda is the only beverage, claiming that 600,000 live in the South Side of Chicago, where their only food-purchase option is from convenience stores.
These convenience stores sell no juice, no bottled water, no milk, no iced tea? Nothing but soda?
Now Donny Deutsch and his co-anchor Hall are shouting at and over each other; she claims he doesn't care about the poor, he suggests she's a pawn of McDonald's and junk-food companies. Poor Kelly O'Donnell shrugs uncomfortably.
"Off to the gulag!"
President of the United States = CONGENITAL LIAR!~
President of the United States = LYING GENITAL!
Maybe Pepsi will get a pass since they share the same logo with “The Won”.
Gee, I thought the Bamster already raised taxes on a pack of cigs. Seems the poor have already had their taxes hiked, this is just another hidden tax he is putting on everyone.
Carbonation leads to Global Warming.
End the fizz!
His escort has arrived.

I simply do not believe this. I have never been to a Chicago 7-11 or similar convenience store, but I have been to hundreds in many states of the Union and have never entered one that doesnt have drinks other than Soda.
This sure does sound like a lie to me.
Don’t forget the proposed toilet paper tax and the cooking oil tax and whatever else.
wait until the poor and middle class sees what CapNTrade is going to cost them.
Of course its a lie.
And the South side of Chicago could have a Super Wal-Mart if the City Council would allow it. They could have low prices and lots of choices.
I will be forwarding you my paypal address for the cost of a new monitor.
I have never been to a convenience store anywhere that does not at the very least offer 100% orange juice in half gallon cartons, not to mention milk, bottled water and usually apple juice.
At any rate, if the residents of the South Side of Chicago (and every other 'hood in the country) did not, themselves, make the cost of doing business in their neighborhoods so high, they'd have better choices.
I believe it is a lie.
I used to be in a political discussion group wherein most of the members were Liberal. They used to state that the government needed to come in and control fast-food places like McDonald’s because there was no healthy option in the neighborhood.
Like, there were no grocery stores or anything.
Liberals adjust the facts to suit their ends.
[BTW, fast food places, in fear that the government would come in and mandate change, did add healthy items. Although, I don’t think the governemtn belongs in this issue].
“if the residents of the South Side of Chicago (and every other ‘hood in the country) did not, themselves, make the cost of doing business in their neighborhoods so high, they’d have better choices.”
In Detroit and Chicago, BOTH, notice the amount of Retail Stores on the SUBURBAN side of border streets.
Chicago’s “Minimum Wage” legislation has made it even more popular to lcate on the line of Chicago, rather than IN Chicago.
Does anyone know if there’s a connection between “Liar, Liar, creepy liar” Lawrence O’Donnell, mega twit Norah O’Donnell, and lesser twit Kelly O’Donnell?
