Remember Obama’s vow not to raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 per year? Forget it.

The man who repeatedly promised the American people that he would never raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000 per year is now backing away from that promise faster than a French soldier from the front line.

PolitiPage.com quotes White House Budget Director Peter Orszag as he revises Obama’s so-called vow:

This morning at a Manhattan breakfast sponsored by Thomson Reuters, White House Budget Director Peter Orszag threw that pledge out the window. Instead, he described Obama’s “read my lips, no new taxes” pledge as a “stance” and a “preference” that is subject to study by the president’s newly-formed bipartisan Commission on Fiscal Responsibility.

Ahhhh, yes. The Bipartisan Commission on Fiscal Responsbility. Or as it’s known around the Oval Office, the Bipartisan Creative Taxation Commission.

  • I knew it was a lie then and I think a lot of the media knew but where willing to forego that to get him elected anyway.

  • All you Conservatives must have mis-heard him. He said " no new SAXES for people earning under $250,000".

    Due to the hugh popularity of the instrument created by the inspirational playing of Billy C the sax-fiend, Boy Blunder is going to sign an Executive Order mandating a price of $250,000 for any new saxophones, $1000 to go to the retailer and the remaining $249,000 to go the the DNC for "redistribution".

  • In that second video you can just see how slimy the brother is.

    His....Let me be clear....is just about as annoying as McCain and his....My friends...

  • Oldie but applicable.
    Obama's new tax form 1040.
    Line 1: How much money did you make?
    Line 2: Send it in.

    End of subject.
