PROMISES, PROMISES: Obama tax pledge unrealistic

Right, because when we (the people) spend (our own) money it creates an economic crisis; when the government spends (our) money its 'stimulus' and helps the economy. :roll:

(Kind of like 'earmarks' under Repubs are a huge problem, but even bigger ones under Dems are insignificiant or "stimulus" - depending on the day/date)

This was a running joke to me when he campaigned on paying for everything by raising taxes on people making over 250K. Of course our taxes are going up in some shape or form.

"Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes," Obama told a crowd in Dover, N.H., last year.

But that just means income tax right? C'mon apologists, use that friggen line now. The budget realities aren't the point, it's the campaign promises broken right before your eyes that you refuse to acknowledge. Am I surprised, no, that's why I didn't vote for the asshat, he's just another bought and paid for politician like the rest of them. Come back off the fairy tale cloud of Obama America, it's time to face the reality that you were sold yet another Big Lie.
