This is getting to be a rather routine thing for the great hemorrhoid in the White House.
Lie after lie. This time he’s actually called out on it be the MSM. Surprise, surprise, surprise.
Obama, shockingly, says he’s open to the idea of a VAT. He just wants to know all of his “options” before announcing the decision he actually made three years ago.
What’s actually a little surprising is that CNBC catches him altering his previous bullshit campaign promises:
Obama’s VAT admission may explain his recent attempts to alter the terms of his central campaign promise. Twice in the past two weeks, Obama has claimed his middle class tax pledge only applied to income taxes rather than “any form of taxes”.
In his April 10 Weekly Radio Address, Obama said: “And one thing we have not done is raise income taxes on families making less than $250,000. That’s another promise we’ve kept.” In a speech on the evening of April 15, Obama repeated the truncated promise: “And one thing we haven’t done is raise income taxes on families making less than $250,000 a year — another promise that we kept.”
The two recent statements stand in stark contrast to Obama’s original promise: “I can make a firm pledge. Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.”
