White House begins groundwork to avoid blame for tax increases

This commission is nothing but a bunch of patsys waiting to take the fall and cover for Obama on his plan to renege on his promise not to raise taxes.

White House begins groundwork to avoid blame for tax increases

President Obama on Thursday indicated that tax increases on people who make less than $250,000 a year will be on the table when a deficit commission makes its recommendations later this year on how to resolve the nation’s fiscal imbalances.

“Everything’s on the table. That’s how this thing is going to work,” Obama said Thursday, moments after signing an executive order creating the 18-member commission.

But the White House has already begun to lay the groundwork for their argument that such a recommendation by the panel should not be blamed on the president, who vowed during his campaign not to raise taxes on Americans earning less than $250,000.

And make sure you pay or the man will be at your door.

I guess you can call 14 inch barrels "sawed off" if you want, but so what? Both local and federal agencies need whatever firearms necessary to do their job.

No not "AN" agnostic.. He said he's agnostic on raising taxes on the middle class..

Who the heck uses that word outside of a religious context anyway?

What's one more broken promise amid the pile of broken promises he has already made..
