Obama Tax Pledge Unrealistic

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

And it’s from the AP. With the snarky dig “promises, promises” right in front of it. All in the headline.

President Barack Obama promised to fix health care and trim the federal budget deficit, all without raising taxes on anyone but the wealthiest Americans. It’s a promise he’s already broken and will likely have to break again.

Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress have already increased tobacco taxes—which disproportionately hit the poor—to pay for extending health coverage to 4 million children in working low-income families.

Now, lawmakers are looking for more revenues to help pay for providing medical insurance to millions more who lack it at a projected cost of $1 trillion over the next decade.

More signs that the honeymoon is nearing an abrupt end, or is already expired:

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 30% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-eight percent (38%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of –8.

Two weeks ago, or thereabouts, big news was made when this approval index slipped to -2. The record low for it had been -1.

For those three-in-ten still driving around with “Obama Biden ’08” on the bumper sticker, jaws slack, wondering why so many others are scraping off the same vehicular adornment as best they can…when there’s a dash in front of the number, that means it’s getting lower when the number after the dash gets bigger, and that’s called a negative number. Remember when the teacher had you subtract a bigger number from a littler one, and you figured out you couldn’t do it, and just sorta spaced out and stared out the window? This is what she was trying to teach you about.

But hey, that’s a real charismatic Guy breaking all His promises to us. It’s so much fun to watch Him. So that makes it all okay, huh?
