Most reasonable voters know his pledge had to do with income taxes.

A new Government program that would help people have affordable health care paid for by additional taxes is not unpopular.

Read it and weep wingnuts...http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp...oIvQ4ZVH7pdofQ

Yes you pay for it in more taxes but you get a benefit of health care.

Poor cry baby wingnuts can't get over they lost the election.

Newsmax.com - Obama Breaks Promise, Embraces Healthcare Tax (http://www.newsmax.com/headlines/obama_healthcare_tax/2009/06/28/229497.html - broken link)

He is breaking records with broken promises and lies.
His phrase that "it's just patriotic to pay more taxes" trumps every other lie he told.

Crying because we see the country we love change overnight into something no rational thinking American could believe would happen. I've done the research and there are locations where they LOVE having American pensioners. Like Californians, Michigans, and New Yorkers are fleeing those insansely hight tax states to tax havens, so too will Americans start leaving the country when they realize that there are many cheaper viable options. I'm going to go on vacation and start considering making some very tough decisions. Crazy wingnut.....ABSOLUTELY not....working since I've been 12 years old because I was always taught you had to work hard to get ahead. 32 years later I have retired from one job and gone immediately back to work. Simple blue collar guy who was never told that it was the government's responsibility to provide for my retirement, my health care, the cars I want to buy, and penalizing law abiding, hard working Americans, while supporting legalization of up to 20 million "ILLEGAL" aliens who have violated our laws. Is there something wrong with the policies of this man.....I believe there are and I believe that America is starting to wake up. Unfortunately it may be too late as he has already forced two insane bills down our throats and is on his way to numbers three and four. Sad, very sad.

After almost 20 years working politics and legislation I'm of the firm opinion that you'll never get rich betting on the collective intelligence or memory of the American electorate.

They won't be able to do that.

Kind of like when they claim that the minority party "blocked" the GOP from passing new legislation in regards to regulation during the Bush era. When asked what bill the GOP put forth......crickets.

That's what happens when you have a group of people who are educated by youtube and Wiki.
