It does my heart good when I heard yesterday that Obama is thinking about rasing taxes on the middle class. This is page out of Bush 41s playbook. Maybe now the American people will wake up and send a message that you can not lie to us and get away with it. Remember Bush 41 "read my lips, no new taxes." remember this in November of 2012.

Obama is not thinking about Raising Taxes, those under $250,000

You must be listening to Fox News. Starting out you said: "It does my heart good when I heard yesterday that Obama is thinking about rasing taxes on the middle class." This is crazy. You show yourself as a person just wanting Obama to fail. You should want every president to succeed. It cannot be good to hear that Obama wants to raise taxes on the middle class. By the way he is not going to raise taxes on the middle class and Fox News knows it.

What he said is this:

“The whole point of it is to make sure that all ideas are on the table,” the president said in the interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, which will appear on newsstands Friday. “So what I want to do is to be completely agnostic, in terms of solutions.”

This statement is not a departure of: "Let me be clear -- if you are a family making less than $250,000 a year ... you will not see your taxes go up,"

Addressing the problem requires coming to the table with no preconceived ideas. Stop jumping on every word, he said: "completely agnostic, in terms of solutions", he did not say he was thinking about adding taxes to the Middle Class.
