Obama Mocks Tea Partiers: You should thank me for cutting taxes

Via Dan Riehl, this may well be the single most obnoxious soundbite he’s uttered since his immortal bitter/clinger bon mot during the campaign. Which, if I’m not mistaken, also occurred at a fundraiser. Funny, the thoughts that bubble up when he’s among friends.

You’re welcome, America.

President Barack Obama said Thursday he’s amused by the anti-tax tea party protests that have been taking place around Tax Day.

Obama told a fundraiser in Miami that he’s cut taxes, contrary to the claims of protesters.

“You would think they’d be saying thank you,” he said.

At that, many in the crowd at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts stood and yelled, “Thank you!”

Let’s see. For starters, he’s lying: He has raised some taxes, contrary to his campaign pledge two years ago. But more than that, he seems almost to be laughing at people for being concerned about deficits. Did we or did we not learn just last night that a majority of tea partiers think their taxes are fair? They’re not some fanatic “zero tax” movement, in other words. They’re willing to pay what they’re paying now; what they want is a government small enough to make ends meet with what they’re paying. By The One’s logic, if he lowered the top marginal income tax bracket to one percent, we should expect tea partiers to fall on their knees and shout hallelujah even though it would mean annual deficits many times the trillion-dollar leviathans we’re currently saddled with. Anyone think that would happen? Anyone except Obama not yet grasp that conservatives want fiscal responsibility, not lower taxes at any and all costs?

What’s most amazing about this is that everyone understands the feds will need to raise taxes, and soon, to try to put a dent in our Everest of liabilities. That was the entire point of Paul Volcker, Obama’s own advisor, whispering about a VAT a few weeks ago. Tax hikes are simply a fait accompli, due in no small part to The One’s own unprecedented spending, and we’d probably have them already if not for his political cowardice in refusing to demand them before his reelection bid. And yet here he is, actually patting himself on the back for being a tax-cutter. Unbelievable.

Obama’s Latest Healthcare Bill Designed To Sneak Through

Democratic officials said the president’s proposal was being written so that it could be attached to a budget bill as a way of averting a Republican filibuster in the Senate. The procedure, known as budget reconciliation, would let Democrats advance the bill with a simple majority rather than a 60-vote supermajority.

There is a reason that the longer this health care debate has dragged on, more and more Americans have become solidly against Obamacare: the plan has been exposed as a welfare state takeover of our health care sector that can only be passed by the most partisan and venal tactics. If the President was capable of listening to the American people, and learning from August, November, and Massachusetts, then he would abandon the legislative disasters still pending in the House and Senate and start over. That is what the American people want.

Pass this bill and we will vote you out. Incumbents beware! Remember Massachusetts?

Democrat Smack Down In Massachusetts

Pass Healthcare and we will vote you out!

Senate Elect Scott Brown

What a difference a year makes. Republican Scott Brown wins the Senate seat in Massachusetts.

We said it here, and now it has been said in Massachusetts. Pass the Healthcare Bill and we will vote you out.

This is America, and we have a representative Republic. Try to run America like you are Monarchs (Obama, Reid and Pelosi) and we will get rid of you!

A Republican Senator in Massachusetts? Welcome to the Boston Tea Party of 2010.

PS: Republicans should not automatically interpret this as support for the GOP. People voted for open honest government, less spending, lower taxes, economic growth and against the healthcare bill. In other words they voted against Obama and Scott Brown was a viable alternative to a Democrat. Soon there may be other choices. In the current political climate, the two party system is not inviolate.

Sacramento Capitol Tea Party

We just received confirmation of the Tea Party next Friday August 28th from Noon til 5pm. It will be held at the steps of the Capitol Building.  Thanks to  The Sac Tea Part Patriots for the information.

There has to be several thousand people here. They are carrying signs, music is playing, smiles everywhere.

My old pal Eric Hogue is here up on stage, stirring things up!
