The honeymoon’s over
It’s a laugh riot, isn’t it? Actually, they might be laughing more at Gibbs’s feeble way of ducking the question than The One’s looming broken promise, but in Gibbs’s defense, what’s he supposed to say? Obama pounded McCain for wanting to pay for health care by taxing benefits, rode into D.C. promising Change, and now he’s going to eat a crap sandwich by reversing himself because it turns out personal charisma doesn’t work on hard economic numbers. So Axelrod and company have to go out and face the firing squad and “explain” via stuttering half-answers why Barry O lied about this last year. It’s a political microcosm of Obama’s economic M.O.: They borrowed political capital by pledging “no new taxes” to win the election and now down the road the bill’s finally come due.
Elsewhere today, Gibbs declared that it’s okay to start judging the success of the stimulus. Over to you, Innocent Bystanders!

It certainly is. Of course many of us saw from the day he moved into the White House how Nobama was breaking campaign promise after campaign promise. Oh he’s giving us change, alright. Just the opposite of what he sold to the dopes who voted for him.
This just puts an exclamation mark on the reality of his being the opposite of what he promised. Even the dopes should be able to figure it out now.

But you know it’s patriotic to pay taxes. In fact the more you give of your hard earned money the more the government can own you.
NObama, a one term president for sure.

The “process” they are going to work their way through on is that they will ‘discover’ they have to raise taxes.
