If President Obama believed this pious nonsense, he would put his second term in jeopardy. Fortunately, the president knows foolishness when he sees it. Obama was absolutely clear during the campaign about his insistence that taxes on better-off Americans need to rise as part of any deal on the budget deficit and "fiscal cliff." The voters clearly heard what Obama was saying during the campaign. According to the media exit poll, only 35 percent of voters said taxes should not be increased. |
