President Obama says he is now "agnostic" about raising taxes on households making under $250,000 a year to help cut budget deficits, signaling a possible retreat from a campaign pledge.
In an interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek on newsstands Friday, Obama said a presidential budget commission needs to look at all options for deficit reduction - including tax increases and cuts in spending on such programs as Social Security and Medicare.
"The whole point of it is to make sure that all ideas are on the table," Obama said. "So what I want to do is to be completely agnostic, in terms of solutions."
Obama repeatedly vowed during the 2008 campaign to spare households earning less than $250,000 a year from tax increases.

"So what I want to do is to be completely agnostic, in terms of solutions." In other words, Barry, you have no principles and will say whatever you have to, to whomever you have to, to get elected. After you're elected, you're an orthodox tax and spend and tax some more, liberal.

The theif has never been agnostic, it is his goal in life to redistribute and telling a lie here and there is simply a roadmap to his marxist dream.
