Now this, if accurate, is amazing. 42% of Democrats are OPPOSED to a tax hike?
Hussein is pissing off his own party.
Gasp! You mean that the president lied? I’m shocked, shocked I tell you! </sarc>
You mean ,That African Mugabe JR LIED to the Whites!!!
[ Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Democrats want a tax hike... ]
BUT 42% of democrats did not join the republicans.. for spending cuts..
They had rather ignore the whole situation..
UNLESS the whole sampling is a hoax.. or flawed..
Home boy wasn’t so worried about polls during the healthcare reaming.
So... what's stopping them from mailing a check to Timmy "Hermey the Elf" Geithner right now ??
What poll was Obama citing, if any? And how was the question phrased? Possibly “Would you rather have tax hikes or have to support Grandma and Grandpa for the rest of their lives?”
Government spending has exploded under nObama.
Government revenue has imploded under nObama due to the crushing impact of his policies on business.
For 2011 the deficit is 258% higher than the deficit in 2008, and the deficit ALONE is larger than BOTH CORPORATE AND INDIVIDUAL INCOME TAX COLLECTED IN 2008 !!! IS THAT INSANE OR WHAT ?
And the details are here:

I saw where Obama got his 80% figure from, I believe it was a Gallop poll that asked if you believed that the deficit should be handled entirely with spending cuts, no “increases of revenue” at all and about 20% of respondents said yes to that. Then the next answer was almost entirely with spending cuts but with some new revenue, next evenly split between the two, then mostly with tax increases and finally with no cuts and all tax increases.
Obama took all the rest that didn’t answer with no taxes and bunched them together to get his “80% of Americans favor raising taxes” quote he used.
Re: Fifty-eight percent (58%) of Democrats want a tax hike—
58% of Rats don’t pay income tax.
Lets see. 58% dems want hike plus 18% GOP want hike plus 35% independents want hike that’s 111% want a tax increase. Obama’s number was low.
The President pulls his numbers out of his posterior.
The Lying piece of SHI* in the WH said 80%.
So lets make him remember how he jumped the shark with this, the all time mother of all 0bama Lies (so far).
If GHW Bush’s “read my lips” cost him his reelection then this must become 0bama’s Waterloo.
This man’s strategy from day 1 was to architect exactly this outcome. Where he would gratuitously overspend, enact the largest entitlement Program in History, and use all of this to pull the trigger on a tax increase SO LARGE that it would transform this country into the Entitlement Utopia of a Socialist Republic.
But you have to give it to the Left because since Reagan cleaned their clocks they have LEARNED.
In the past they would Tax and Spend, now they do it the other way around and this makes their move to Socialism unstoppable.
They now have a gun to the head of America and look happy to pull the trigger, IF they are not allowed their desire to spend and tax their way to Socialism.
sfl
Even Clinton or any of the other demobulbs didn’t lie so much - it’s hard to listen too.
Funny how he touted that 80% of the ‘Merican Peepl stuff when in the prior news conference he said we were all too stoopid to understand what was going on and to leave it to the “professionals”
Those wanting a a tax hike are the freeloading maggots who don’t pay taxes.
I can’t think of any phrase more “worthy” than “Liar In Chief.” Unless it could be “TOTAL LOSER!”
