MORE TAXES!!! Obama is taking 2nd look at tax on benefits - smn1256 - 03-15-2009 12:05 PM
The cost of socialism is going to kill us all.
Quote:The Obama administration is signaling to Congress that the president could support taxing some employee health benefits, as several influential lawmakers and many economists favor, to help pay for an overhaul of the health care system.
The rest is here:

Another sign that Obama doesn't know what in the hell he is doing. He was against this during the election, now he flips.
The guy doesn't know how to do anything but tax and spend.

He didn't flip, he lied. There's a difference.
He didn't have to tell the truth during the campaign. He could say whatever he wanted--or whatever he thought would get him elected--without regard to whether it was true or not.
Sarah Palin said that being a small-town mayor was like being a community organizer, except that your actions have actual consequences. This is the first time in his life that Obama has been in a situation where his words and deeds have actual consequences. The presidency is a tough place to learn this.
