Obama claims he represents 80% of the electorate as to raising taxes. We think the 80% live in Afghanistan !!

"The American people are sold," Obama said today in his most recent press conference. "The problem is members of Congress are dug in ideologically."

Throughout the press conference, Obama criticized Republicans for ignoring "the will of the American people" by rejecting tax increases that would balance out spending cuts in a debt package. During the conference, he touted an 80% approval with the "American people" for his tax hikes. . . . . . . a number that is no more true than his claim that there is no inflation.

Understand that down deep within his Administration, there are those who know the truth and are keeping Obama appraised of the more reliable polls.

Rasmussen, for example, shows a 55% disapproval for raising taxes at this time.Caution: that does not mean that 45% support Obama. Not at all. In fact, this same Rasmussen polls shows that only 34% actually support Obama, the remainder are undecided.

So, which is it? 80% or 34 % ?? You really need to know.

Gallup is telling us that the American people do not want increased taxes to solve our specific spending problems:

The Gallup poll should come as no surprise since a similar Gallup poll was taken last March 9, 2011, in which the American people said, "Cut spending; don't raise taxes."

Know this: Barry Obama simply did not give a care as to public opinion when he crammed his idiot healthcare package, you know, the one we had to pass in order to see what it said, down our throats.

Now, he is doing the same thing, only pretending that he has popular approval. In other words, he is lying about the 80% approval, plain and simple.

If what I am saying is the actual reality, Obama and Company will cave to the GOP, in due time. The Democrats simply cannot afford another 2010 election cycle. They can ignore its implications, but they cannot afford the risk. Time will tell.

One final observation: review the comments at the very top of this post. In it, you will find words that presents Obama's plan as one which will use tax increases to "balance out spending cuts."

Now, think about that for just a moment. If he cuts "here" and adds "there," what in the world has changed ?? !!!! To those old hippies still living in Democrat Communes, the answer is "NOTHING."

"I am going to use increased taxes to balance out the spending cuts I will propose, someday, hopefully after the 2012 election, you know, ah, about the time my party will - ah - finally approve a budget."

Lastly, know that 2 trillion dollars in new taxes collected over the next decade (his "plan") is only 10% of the expected increase in in the national debt over the same period of time. His plan does next to nothing to solve the problem, and he knows it. Instead, after his plan is implemented, we will still add 18 trillion dollars to our national debt.

Why are you people even listening to this clown ??
