I don't know why everyone is so upset about Obama stating that 80% polled want higher taxes. I mean, to us it's just a number right? We may be outraged, but just think of the pure nail-biting full-on panic that must be unfolding in the newsrooms of the liberal media right now.

After all, whatever Obama says, no matter how stupid, they are sworn by the journolista code to back it up.

Get ready for a media sponsored trip into the twilight zone in 3...2...1..

That, and chocolate rations will remain the same.

Let’s look on the bright side. This will make a great campaign commercial for the Republicans next year. Just show a clip of Obama saying how 80% of the American people want higher taxes.

“Obama: 80% of Americans want higher taxes”

Time to get Joe The Plumber to do a few high-visibility commercials in the next few days.

If the Pubbies don’t want that, perhaps the Tea Party folks might be interested!

Just sayin’....

This is the same smug arrogance that possessed V. I. Lenin as he mapped out the destruction of millions of people so that power would come to the people.

I know. It is pure nonsense. It seems to me that only the Christian concept of sin and its depravity can explain how two such intelligent people could be so badly deluded. But undeniably, as with Lenin, Obama seems to view the people and their collective wisdom as being embodied in himself ... and he simply could not be more wrong. And he is incapable of seeing how wrong he is. It is therefore imperative both to call his bluff on this issue and then to turn him out of office.

80% of Americans want a Republican in the White House.

claiming 80 percent of the public supports Democrats' demand for tax increases.

Financial gifts can be made by check or money order payable to the United States Treasury and mailed to the address below.

Gifts to the United States
U.S. Department of the Treasury
Credit Accounting Branch
3700 East-West Highway, Room 622D
Hyattsville, MD 20782

Nobody's stopping that alleged 80% from giving more.

Oh, he means "higher taxes on somebody else"...

Nearly half the country pays no federal income taxes at all , so it's not difficult to believe that that entire group wouldn't mind seeing taxes raised. But Hussein's 80% figure still seems way high. The POS is lying, as usual.

Obama said, citing "poll after poll"...

I guess he forgot about the official poll taken last November.

“President Obama on Friday kept up the pressure on Republicans to agree to revenue increases in a deal to raise the debt ceiling, claiming 80 percent of the public supports Democrats’ demand for tax increases.”

Words can’t describe the contempt felt in the face of this Demagoguery.....

He’s correct, by damn..... only, it is 80% of what he deems are Americans - those on welfare, EITC, EBT, WICs, AFDC, SCHIP, Affirmative Action, illegal, and anybody else that I forgot that do not work. He doesn’t think of the rest of us as Americans - we are subjects not to be trusted, ever.

That would be the 80% that don't pay any taxes wanting those that do to pay more. The percentage is a little high but he is probably counting the illegals that are here and those on the way.

I suggest “The One” solicit the addresses of all of these magnanimous folks and request that they send their personal checks for an amount over and above their current tax bills to the Treasury Department.
