Translation: Struggling to figure out how to break the pledge.

Time for some spin.

He’s NOT struggling to keep his pledge, he’s just torqued because his people let the cat out of his nontransparent bag.

Tim the TAX CHEAT and Larry Snorere Summers don't say ANYTHING WITHOUT BAMMY'S APPROVAL!

They are playing BAD COP to Bammy's GOOD COP.

Bammy can say, the EXPERETS MADE ME DO IT....Don't blame me, they INSISTED I RAISE YOUR TAXES!

There is another problem that Obie apparently isn't smart enough to have considered...

Tax rate increases only spike revenues in the early years and primarily because they come out of nowhere (Remember how Billy Jeff turned a tax cut into a tax increase). Over time people change behaviors to lessen their impact. Well since Obie (with the help of the alternative media) has telegraphed this I believe those lifestyle changes have already been taking place. I do not believe any tax rate increase at this point will increase revenues significantly.

Yes, Bammy and his gang of thieves will raise taxes. It's for the good of the collective. /s

New taxes on the middle class are not a politically viable option.

So where does the $$$ come from

“...Ultimately, the decision to propose tax hikes remains with the president, not a government economist or Cabinet official. Obama’s position has not changed: New taxes on the middle class are not a politically viable option”

that is so much baloney!

everything they do is planned and orchestrated.

He has not, nor has he ever had any intention of keeping that false “pledge.” He’s just casting out for the most politically palpable way to stick it to us.

This whole thing about guessing if Obama will raise taxes on the middle class is moot! At the end of 2010 EVERYBODY with a paycheck is going to get hit with higher taxes.

When the 2003 tax cuts expire at the end of 2010 the entire federal income tax rates go back up to the higher income tax rates of the year 2000. Low income, middle income, and high income are all going to get hit hard with higher income tax rates.

Headline of any unbiased media would read”

“Obama team appears ready to just walk away from its promises to voters”.

Obama's position has not changed: New taxes on the middle class are not [yet] a politically viable option.

Now that looks more accurate to me...

Obama really doesnt give a damn about raising taxes for Middle income. He is just looking for a way to disguise it , or blame it on someone else.

President Barack Obama is struggling to find a way to pay for an overhaul of the nation's health care system without violating his campaign promise not to raise taxes on the middle class.

I'll bet he loses that struggle.
