Read their lips: Mixed signals from Obama team on taxes | csmonitor.com
Although Barack Obama campaigned on a pledge of no tax hikes on the middle class, top administration officials on Sunday appeared to open the door to rethinking that position. Then on Monday the White House press secretary said the door really isn’t open.
Either way, the discussion of possible tax hikes is already out of the stable. Economists generally agree with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner that the nation is on an unsustainable fiscal path, and that hard choices will need to be made – although the reckoning may not occur on Mr. Obama’s watch. Some say the magnitude of the hole to be filled is so large that spending cuts alone are unlikely to do the job.
So either Dear Leader is truly Prez Doofus, or Tiny Tim is stuck in full retard mode, or Dear Leader is doing the Kerry Two-Step of being opposed to taxes after being for taxes after being opposed to taxes (all in the same news cycle).
Either way....Americans are well advised to cling to their wallets along with their guns and their Bibles.
