Default Obama says he won't raise your taxes (for 95%)

So let's say we believe him (even though it's total crap). Think he'll veto Congressional Democrats who don't have the same scruples?

How about that 401(k) deduction?

First of all I don't believe him. The 95% figure is utter BS. Maybe only 5% have earned income over $250k, but there are a lot of people who earn less than $250k but pay capital gains tax (though maybe no longer in these markets - stocks, commodities, real estate all declining) or who have a small business who will have their taxes increased.

he is a total liar.

I don't believe it at all. The numbers simply don't add up.

Biden lowered the amount from $250K to $150K yesterday. Funny stuff.

If heaven-forbid Obama ends up getting in, Biden will be a fun sideshow for the next 4 years. This is the guy Obama brought on to convince people his ticket has enough experience. Ha!

Word is, he is now less accessible to the media than Palin.

Maybe Biden will get drunk and then shoot people in the face with his gun. That would be a fun sideshow, for sure.
