“President Barack Obama said he is “agnostic” about raising taxes on households making less than $250,000 as part of a broad effort to rein in the budget deficit.”

He makes it sound like the deficit has a life of its own. Note to Obama: The deficit is caused by spending more than you takle in. Try to rein it in by spending less.

Why is everyone surprised at this latest revelation? It’s always been not a matter of if but when.

Obama talks too much too long and his words mean nothing. ostrichchaperon.typepad.com

Guess I should just ‘man up’, huh.

Although I don’t see why. He won’t even expect that of the guys joining the military after trashing Don’t-Ask, Don’t Tell.

“this asshole is going to consider reducing my benefits”

he’s not trying to punish your success, John. He’s just tryin to spread it around a little bit, you know, so that those comin up behind you have a fair shake.

Like the perpetually unemployed, the SEIU, Acorn, the UAW via GM, and Goldman Sachs, whose executives have been very supportive of Obama’s policies.

And as Michelle told us 2 years ago, he’s going to EXPECT you to participate in the change.

So it’s hard to see what you are whining about.

Well, folks, I’m barely middle-class anymore, but I’ve been self-employed for about 75% of my 45-year working career, which means I’ve paid BOTH halves of my social security for over thirty years. Now that I,m drawing it, this asshole is going to consider reducing my benefits? I’m forced to pay taxes on the checks I receive because it’s considered income.

I’ve got news for ya’ Buckwheat. There’s a whole lot of ‘Boomers’ who’ll gladly boot your chumpy ass back to Chicago as a “Thank You” salute for such chicanery.

By the way. Why don’t you re-name it So-So Security……that’d be more appropriate. Corrupt, socialist bastard!!

Never saw that coming.

Caught me totally off guard.

I’m flabbergasted.

“I thought Obama just said in his state of union speech he would not be rising taxes on middle-class”

Obama says he’s agnostic? He’s a muslim. I thought Obama just said in his state of union speech he would not be rising taxes on middle-class.

He has to rush his tax hikes through before the November elections.

Republicans should promise to reverse them.

If they do, they will win in a historic landslide.

As the media are about jobless claims, I am shocked at this “unexpected” development.
How could we have seen this coming?
Didn’t “The One” promise “No Middle Class Tax Increases”?

I’m beginning to think we can’t trust his words.
Maybe we should just focus on what he and his “progressive” Gnomes are actually doing.

Lets not kid ourselves here, Obama wants to tax anybody that earns enough to support themselves and their families, after all, that’s government’s job. If we have all of these people who are capable of putting food on their tables and buying things they want and need, the government cannot be their provider and savior. He wants total dependence on government and taxing the capable out of their independence is the end goal for the statist/progressive to finally bring these people under the control of the government and redistribute their wealth to those who he feels are deserving of it, rather than those who actually earned it–Equality of outcomes and ‘social justice,’ the statist’s holy grail.

Why is he always “agnostic” when it comes to things that are actually his job (military strategy, foreign policy, budgeting), but on things that he has no business touching (health care, cap and tax, education, obesity, Supreme Court decisions), he has no problem declaring absolute moral authority?
