Orszag: The president never âpledgedâ no new taxes; he simply âpreferredâ Latest News May 12, 2010 White House Budget Director Peter Orszag, grilled about Obamaâs pledge not to raise middle-class taxes, left the president wiggle room. Lloyd Grove reports. Remember President Obamaâs supposedly inviolable pledgeârepeatedly uttered during the 2008 campaign and at countless town meetings since the inaugurationâthat he would never raise taxes on middle-class citizens who earn $250,000 a year or less? 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 Obamaâs âread my lips, no new taxesâ pledge as a âstanceâ and a âpreferenceâ that is subject to study by the presidentâs newly-formed bipartisan Commission on Fiscal Responsibility. âThe president has been very clear about what he prefers,â Orszag said under questioning from Thomson Reutersâ Chrystia Freeland.
Yet another of the many, MANY lies Obama told to hoodwink dumb-ass citizens into electing him... (yawn)
This Just In Barack Obama got out of the shower and was drying off when he looked in the mirror and noticed that he was white from the neck to the top of his head. In a sheer panic and fearing he was turning white all over, he called his doctor and told him what had happened. The doctor advised him to come to his office immediately. After an examination, the doctor mixed a concoction of brown liquid, gave it to Barack, and told him to drink it all. Barack drank the concoction and grimaced, "Yech! That tasted like bullshit!" "Yes it was," the doctor replied, "You were a quart low..."
LOL. Remember the old Tootsie Pop commercials? "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? CRUNCH! " The world may never know.
