From The Daily Caller:
A vote for Obama is a vote for higher taxes -- Problem solved, America: Obama said a bunch more words! TheDC's Neil Munro reports: "President Barack Obama is urging a debt-ceiling deal with Hill Republicans. Despite the government's $1.5 trillion current deficit, $14 trillion federal debt and $100 trillion promise of future spending for retirees, the president is pushing Congress to spend still more. 'Let's get this [deficit and debt] problem off the table … [and] with a solid fiscal situation, we will then be in a position to make the kind of investments that I think are going to be necessary to win the future,' he told reporters gathered for a White House press conference Monday morning." Investments! Win the Future! Now it all makes sense. And as Bryan Preston at the PJ Tatlernotes, Obama made an astonishing admission when asked about new taxes: "So, when you hear folks saying 'Well, the president shouldn't want massive job-killing tax increases when the economy is this weak.' Nobody’s looking to raise taxes right now. We're talking about potentially 2013 and the out years." Okay, so we're supposed to vote for him, and THEN he'll raise our taxes. Obama 2012: Win the Massive Job-Killing Tax Increases! Oh, and he also said some stuff about pulling off Band-Aids and eating your peas. He is History's Greatest Communicator.
Obama also added this statement during the presser:
I do not want, and I will not accept, a deal in which I am asked to do nothing. In fact, I am able to keep hundreds of thousands of dollars in additional income that I don't need, while, uh, a parent out there who is struggling to figure out how to send their kid to college suddenly finds, uh, that they've got a couple thousand dollars less in grants or student loans. That's what the revenue debate is about.
Uh, Mr. Obama, you don't have to keep that money. You can give it to me, or to some poor student, or directly to the Federal government. Apparently Obama is not able to make such decisions unless the government forces him to do so.
