Look On The Brightside... DeMint Was Wrong... Tax Cuts For The Rich Is Obama's Waterloo

[WillyT]

wee

Somebody on the tubes today called it his, "Read my lips, no new taxes!" moment.

:shrug:

[liberal N proud]

1. How can it be his no new taxes moment when the taxes don't go up?

I don't figure!

[WillyT]

2. Broken Campaign Promise...

just in the opposite direction.

:shrug:

[BzaDem]

4. So Obama didn't promise that taxes on the middle class wouldn't be raised? Seem like a lot of people

selectively "forget" that promise.

[liberal N proud]

10. Some are always fighting the establishment

Regardless of who it is.

[WillyT]

11. Yeah... Question Authority... As A Proud Liberal, You Agree With That, No ???

:shrug:

[liberal N proud]

13. Questioning and fighting are a distance apart

One must always question but one must also look at all the facts and make cogent judgment lest they be like the average republican teabagger.

3. I don't think it will be. It's a setback and a loss, for sure. But we are still

in the grip of a fragile economy and high unemployment--I believe that will temper some of the criticism from a broken promise. And he is keeping part of his promise, which is the middle class cut extension.

5. I thought Obama was 'the only thing standing' between the Rich and Pitchforks

:shrug:

6. Talk about the tax will be Obama's Waterloo?

I heard Ed Shultz say the same thing this morning.

8. Don't forget Xe.

7. Obama's moment has already been and gone, and this just adds to it

The real concern that Obama faces is how is he portrayed in the Big Mainstream Media. (For whatever reason, the very person who used the internet to secure his victory in the primaries and beyond now seemingly ignores the internet)

I never heard the Big Media offer as such support to Obama as it did the week in late 2009 when it was apparent that Obama was all for the endless, unwin-able wars.

When and only when he is denounced from all the major news organizations, then and only then will he care.

He doesn't care what we think - after all, when 200,000 of us gather for a peace rally, the media ignores us. But the media is glad to report on fifty Tea Baggers assembling.

He only cares about what the Big Media people say.

[WillyT]

9. Hey Ed !!! - You Been Reading My Copy ???

:evilgrin:

[SoCalDem]

12. Republicans will run ads saying that Obama was the one who wanted rich folks to get tax cuts

and THEY were the ones who "only wanted it all paid for", and who did NOT engage in "class warfare"....

Count on it!
