A couple of months ago, The Standard publiushed a column by Victor Davis Hanson titled "Obama vs. Obama", about Zer0's conflicting statements on foreign policy. This is a different column, but the title could apply to any of dozens of pairs of 0bama policy positions.
The Republicans had better not fold on this.
NO NEW TAXES!!
NO TAX INCREASES!!!
CUT THE SPENDING!!!
ELIMINATE 0BAMAO-CARE!!
He’s out of money that’s why
I think Obama would love to put the Republicans into another "read my lips" debacle. The tax increases will never result in another trillion in revenue. This is Obama playing politics imo.
Actually, Obama has been extremely consistent, over the years. His goal: REDISTRIBUTION.
He sees every crisis as a means to further his goal. Of course, his goal is shared by few of the electorate, so he must hide it. His only inconsistencies come from hiding his true agenda, not from pursuing it.
You guys and gals refuse to get it!!! POTUS Obama and his Democrat ilk is out to destroy the American economy and the nation of America with it. Every move he makes, foreign or domestic is planned to lull Americans into a false sense of trust and security. The exact opposite is true. Whether it is the economy, jobs Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Egypt, Israel, Yemen, The Sudan, etc., he positions the USA into a failing or in harm’s way stance as a motive & matter of his planned destroy America mantra. Too bad the American public is asleep at the wheel!!! Obama, you can fool some of us, but....not all of us!!! We are onto your game of America’s destruction!!!! Hopefully, November, 2012 will witness the end of your political career as the American people massively vote you and your cronies out of office!!!
I think Mark Halperin was right about both of them.
If I were going to increase taxes I would start with:. all the federal tax shelters and government (Federal, state local) subsidies given to the Government employees (particularly politicians), News and entertainment industries. Entertainment includes movies, television, all art forms (no non-profit organizations cover for “artists” and “news” providers.e.g., NPR, PBS, etc ), sports (including government funded/subsidized stadiums and forums).
Just dreaming.
Obama is an extortion king. We need to label it for what it is and quickly.
To the death!
