President Obama Now Says He's 'Agnostic' On Possible Tax Hikes For Households Below $250K a Year
New York Daily News ^ | Wednesday, February 10, 2010 | Kenneth R. Bazinet

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.

What a lying sack of shiite!!! Meanwhile he won't let that spoil his fun. Too much snow for the Wednesday night party? No problem. Move it to Tuesday night. Seems to have his priorities copulated up.

Only fools would have believed him in the first place. The guy is a pathological liar, and it was evident long ago.

Also Democrats and taxes are more like a horse and carriage than love and marriage. Anyone that hasn’t figured that out yet lives in la la land.

Guess what--Obammyboy may be an agnostic, but the rat douchebags who harbor the least hope for re-election this fall will have gotten religion!

Lol, the dear reader doesn't even know the difference between ambivalent and agnostic. Yet the good comrades in the socialist lamestream media call him educated? what a joke.

Glad you enjoyed the pic.

Freegards,

Narcissitic personality disorder blended with whole lot of elitism. Sounds like a ‘let them eat cake’ moment to me.
