Obama : "You have 80% of the American people who support a balanced approach. 80% of the American people support an approach that includes revenues and includes cuts. So the notion that somehow the American people aren't sold is not the problem. The problem is members of Congress are dug in ideologically."

[crosshairs]

So now he’s saying 80% of the people AREN’T paying taxes. Because those are the only ones that want an increase.

[yldstrk]

That is hilarious

Some of the statements I have heard on TV by Democrats have been equally humorous. These politicians have no respect for truth.

[Rammer]

Ok Mr. President, why don’t you just make the increases voluntary and see if 80% pay the extra amount?

Hmmmmm?

[353FMG]

Undoubtedly taqqiya statistics.

A Modest Proposal: In order to raise revenues impose a 3% tax on the 48% of workers who do not now pay income taxes.

I love this idea.

[Spok]

The only thing he’s capable of doing spontaneously is making stuff up, which is okay with the MSM.

[blackdog]

But that's a tax on those who can least afford it!

No, I'm not tagging this comment. If you don't get it, go read Mark Twain and take some asprin.

As one famous national socialist said, if you're going to tell a lie, it best be a whopper.

Just what exactly is in those "cigarettes" that he sneaks from time to time?

[Gondring]

Wow. Does he keep score like this on the golf course?

His scorecard is amazing...after 18 holes and there are zeroes all across it.

[Lazamataz]

Not one reporter axed him to cite a reference for his 80% overwhelming majority of Americans.

I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

“Rasmussen: 55% Oppose Tax Hike in Debt-Ceiling Deal”

And you can bet a good percentage of the 45% who Want a tax hike don’t pay taxes.

[opentalk]

They are not saying what would be done with any new taxes.

More cook stoves for Africa? High speed rail, EPA grants to China. Muslim outreach, climate change...

Seems like Obama has been in office forever.

I vaguely remember Democrats wanted to spend repaid and returned TARP money on other programs instead of paying down the debt as required and promised.
Expect more of the same.

[Munz]

I swear I think if Obama just once told the truth without some duel meaning or hidden agenda, just for the sake of being honest, his head would snap right off from his tongue falling out.

And using up a lot of valuable resources like oxygen and water.

[little jeremiah]

Some? All of them.

[GlockThe Vote]

Rot in Hell Obama!

[riri]

Let me clarify first by saying I don’t want anyone’s taxes raised. However, these are the first people who will rail on and on about taxing “the rich”. So, let them pay something.
