This is not a surprise; it is exactly what he said within the last 30 days during countless interviews. Given the financial crises we are in, he stated that he may have to rethink this tax option because of the sensitive and fragile nature of our economy. Kudos to him and his economic advisors for putting what is best for our country ahead of any attempt to live up to a campaign promise and in doing so disregard those who will try to use this as a “see, told you he wouldn’t stick to his word” type of response.

The whining will continue anyway. It seems to be selectively “the country”. Everyone is in this together, until it affects those that haven’t learned to cope. The promised jobs, with their prior tax cuts, never appeared did they ? They were “brave” with investments as long as they thought it was a sure thing and might get them to the super rich level, but where is the bravery when their faith and investments are needed for the benefit of “the country”

Belinda comments, “…so disregard those who will try to use this as a ‘see, told you he wouldn’t stick to his word’ type of response.” I told you so! Obama has yet to honor a single campaign promise he made. McCain is right, “Obama will say anything to get elected.” The Black Messiah is breaking one campaign promise after another. He lied to America and America was well aware he was lying, long back. Readers need to learn to deal with reality and to accept reality. Our politicians, both Republican and Democrat, are just a bunch of ignorant megalomaniac opportunists; their interest is only self-interest. “Oh, oh, the Black Messiah is to send us welfare checks! We are saved!” Mule manure. Our government treasury printing presses are quickly running out of ink. There is a limit to how much money the Feds can print off. We have currently exceeded this limit. There is no money remaining and America is drowning in debt. Those of us who fall within Obama’s definition of “rich”, which is now any person or family making over $150,000 a year, we are withdrawing our money from America, we are reducing our earned incomes, we are seeking tax shelters. We are flipping Obama the bird. This is not a “choice” by Obama, this is simply Obama and Democrats having no choice but to come clean on deceitful campaign promises; those folks knew long back most campaign promises made by Obama are worthless sugar pills for Americans. This deceit by all politicians is readily apparent by asking a simple question, “Where will they get the money to fund all these campaign promises?” Ain’t gonna happen. There is no money and those of us who work hard, who are successful, ain’t about to give up our hard earned egg money so our leaders can reward Wall Street for their decades of financial crimes nor about to give up our well earned money to have the Feds give to some crack head whore over on 44th and Vine. McCain promised to reduced taxes and to reduced government spending. We all know we cannot trust politicians, but on this, we all know McCain would have kept his word; he walks the talk, with good common sense. Reality is settling in, deal with this. Whisper me sweet lies, soft sweet lies, Tickle my fancy beyond deceitful delight. Bring a slight sly smile with wicked cries, Tell me, please tell me, during midnight Of beautiful fireflies and dragonflies, Lover of mine, reality is truly my plight, So whisper me sweet lies, soft sweet lies. — Okpulot Taha Okpulot Taha Choctaw Nation
