To him they are.

Think about it, has ANY policy of his not benefited “his people” more than the general population?

Obama also shot down GOP calls for a balanced-budget amendment to the Constitution, saying "we don't need a constitutional amendment to do our jobs."

Then do the job.

He must be doing drugs again. We’re in a recession, NOBODY wants more taxes. And anyway, we have a ton of new taxes coming in 2013 thanks to Obamacare.

I'd prefer that we shut down the IRS and go to a national flat sales tax. Make everyone pay. Even the illegal pukes.

Doing such a thing would make the US economy go through the roof. Money would flow in to the US so fast you would not be able to count it.

If 80% of the public wanted higher taxes, the Democrats would still control the House.

The banality of evil. Lies=truth. The left lies and laughs about how clever their lies are. All while throttling anyone and everyone who pops up and says something different.

Remember this?

“This is not an issue of salesmanship to the American people,” Obama said.”

Oh yes, it is. This is Obama’s own personal push poll. He is saying “Hey people, you need to join the rest of your neighbors on the bandwagon.” It’s nothing but good old fashioned adolescent peer pressure, which is why the phoney percentage is so high.
Trouble is, only adolesent liberals are still susceptible to such peer pressure. The rest of us have learned to reason.

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

The Kenyan lizard king has lost his mind. The lizard is going to have to explain where he got this idea.

"Obama repeated his warning that the country is "running out of time" to avert a financial “Armageddon.”

Obama used the same scare tactic to push through his Porkulus bill, which economists now acknowledge did nothing to improve the economy. In fact, it precipitated the huge decline we're now experiencing.

"And I think increasingly the American people are going to say to themselves, you know what? If a party or a politician is constantly taking the position 'my way or the highway,' constantly being locked into, you know, ideologically rigid positions, that you know, we're going to remember at the polls," Obama said.

Wow. It's a real jaw-dropper to hear the most rigid ideologue we've ever seen in the White House utter those words.

You're right, Barry. The American people are definitely going to remember at the polls, come next November. That's when the real economic recovery will begin, because you're going to be out of a job.

It’s a curious position, given the anemic economic growth and rising unemployment. And it’s even more curious considering that Obama himself has warned about the deleterious effects of raising taxes in a struggling economy.

In August 2009, on a visit to Elkhart, Indiana to tout his stimulus plan, Obama sat down for an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, and was conveyed a simple request from Elkhart resident Scott Ferguson: “Explain how raising taxes on anyone during a deep recession is going to help with the economy.”

Obama agreed with Ferguson’s premise – raising taxes in a recession is a bad idea. “First of all, he’s right. Normally, you don’t raise taxes in a recession, which is why we haven’t and why we’ve instead cut taxes. So I guess what I’d say to Scott is – his economics are right. You don’t raise taxes in a recession. We haven’t raised taxes in a recession.”
