Even MSM beginning to admit Obama's tax pledge was a lie
Topics: Political News and commentariesTake for example, this AP article that admits President Barack Obama's promise to fix health care and trim the federal budget deficit, all without raising taxes on anyone but the wealthiest Americans, is a promise he's already broken and will likely have to break again.
As Radley Balko notes in his piece titled, "Obama Keeping Promises That Grow Government; Abandoning Promises That Hold It Accountable," it's safe to say that Obama has been willing to spend plenty of political capital on his promises that vastly expand the size and scope of the federal government, and relatively little on promises related to eliminating waste, putting limits on his own power, or making the government more transparent and accountable.
And chief among Obama's accountability issues, besides his grab for power and lack of transparency - both of which are wildly out of countrol, is his breaking of promises to not raise taxes. And for this the American people must hold him and his fellow Democrats accountable.
