I am really disappointed in you. You are excellent at expressing your opinions, (I think most of them are crazy), but you don't usually outright misrepresent what someone else has said (stretch it a bit maybe but not downright mis-quote). In the above post you fell off the wagon hard!. I can't believe you have the gall to put the subject line in "quotes".
Obama DID NOT say "80% of Americans want higher taxes". He pointed out that polls have shown that 80% of Americans prefer to begin to solve the debt problem through a combination of spending cuts and added tax revenue.
Of course the President did mis-speak just a bit...the Gallup poll, to which he was likely making reference, found that 20% of Americans wanted spending cuts alone, 30% wanted mostly cuts with some added taxes, 32% wanted equal cuts and taxes, 11% wanted mostly or completely additional taxes (those commie, pinko, socialist, blame America, baby killers no doubt) and 6% had no opinion or refused to state. To be correct Obama could have said "At least one poll found that 74% of Americans think added tax revenue should be included while only 20% of Americans want to attack the debt through spending cuts alone".
Obama made a minor factual slip-up, whereas you slopped a bibful!
Tell the truth MM!!
