Obama: "Since I've Taken Office, I've Cut Your Taxes"
2011-12-01
[Real Clear Politics] President B.O. explains why he's "going to give" Congress "another chance" to pass measures in his jobs bill.

Obama also claims that he is the tax-cutter in the race.

"I know you hear a lot of folks on cable TV claiming that I am this 'big tax and spend liberal.' Next time you hear that, you just remind the people who are saying it that since I've taken office, I've cut your taxes. Your taxes -- your taxes today, the average middle class family, your taxes today are lower than when I took office. Just remember that. We have cut taxes for small businesses, not once, not twice, but 17 times. The average family's tax burden is among the lowest it's been in the last 60 years. So the problem is not that we've been raising taxes. We've been trying to give families a break during these tough times," Obama said at a campaign event in Scranton, Penn.

#12  If Obama ever stopped lying, he'd have absolutely nothing to say.

#11  As Reagan would say to Carter whenever he tried to put forward one of his blatant distortions and lies in the 1980 race for POTUS... "There you go again."

#10  Okay,

I take back everything I've ever said about Zardari, Gilani, and the EU science council.

#9  ..well by printing a gazillion tons of money, he's certainly reduced the relative value of the tax money they clip out every month.

#7  One more reason elections should be held the day after tax day. I don't care if he did create more tax cuts, if the IRS is taking a bigger chunk out of a smaller yearly salary he's making stupid cuts.

#6  He says that like it's a good thing, so he should be in favor of more cutting, eh?

#4  I'm not surprised that he said it -- hell, he probably just rattled it off as the words rolled past on the teleprompter without even giving it a single thought.

The tragedy is that anyone would believe it.
