And reducing the mortgage interest deduction will be sure fire way of helping the worst housing market in 60+ years...what a f**king idiot.

[bigjoesaddle]

I know the teleprompter is photoshopped, but is the "pic"...(get it....PIC!)

Seriously, is the photograph real?

[3catsanadog]

What are all these numbers he spouting off now??? Fuzzy math?

[hsalaw]

He just said this has no impact on charitable giving - LIAR! The leftist nonprofits are already howling about the drop in their receipts.

[americanophile]

I think he’s demonstrated how important public reading skills are.

[spectre]

He called him "Garret" again.

What a tool.

[newnhdad]

WTF kind of questions is this? Ebony!!!

[Hildy]

there are children sleeping under bridges? really?

[jennyjenny]

Hahahaha, now Obama says the charities are wrong when they say removing the deduction will hurt them. Ah man, he has the mindset of a 14 year old. Sorry if I’ve offended any 14 year olds out there.

[TSgt]

1 in 50 children are homeless?

I don’t believe it for a second!

[maggief]

Sorry, but my charitable giving is going towards my pantry.

[acoulterfan]

Who cares about the Charity Deduction. He fully intends to do away with the Mortgage deduction. He just said so adamently.

[bossmechanic]

NO EViDence taxes affect charitable giving?????????????
The man’s on crack

[Right_in_Virginia]

Okay . . . a sleeping under bridges question.

This may be a good time to hit the QVC button on the remote.

[Son House]

Øbama “Get people back to work again and I think charities will be just fine”

[Beaten Valve]

Now we get a guy from EBONY magazine?

“Fer Shizzle”...

[Red Steel]

It’s definitive, Obama want to cut the tax incentive for giving to charities.

[al baby]

yes very sad

[andy58-in-nh]

Based on 2007 IRS returns: total income taxes paid in the US= $1.4 Trillion. Projected deficit= $1.8 Trillion. To cut the deficit in half, he’d have to raise approximately an additional $900 billion, 87% of which ($783 billion) will be paid by the top 25% of taxpayers under current tax law, which is about to be made even more “progressive”. That group includes all filers making over $67,000, and who currently pay about $900 billion. Do the math.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Children under bridges and in tents? Boo friggin hoo! I don’t believe it!
