Obama says Tea Partiers owe him a thank you
Posted: April 16th, 2010

From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

(CNN) - Tea Party activists marked Tax Day with a high-profile rally in Washington, DC, and other protests across the country, but President Obama says the anti-tax movement actually owes him a thank you.

Speaking at a Democratic fundraiser in Miami Thursday night, the president touted tax cuts in the stimulus measure and the fact that the tax rate has not been increased for those making less than $250,000 a year.

"So I've been amused in recent days by these people having rallies," he told the crowd at the fundraiser to laughter. "I think they should be saying thank you."

Members of the crowd, who paid between $250 to $1,250 to attend the event, immediately rose to their feet and replied "Thank You!"

The White House noted Thursday that federal taxes were reduced by $173 billion in 2009 and said that the average tax refund is about 10 percent higher than last year.

Obama also won a standing ovation from the Miami crowd when he praised the recent passage of the health care reform plan.

"As my vice president said, 'This is a big deal,'" Obama said to laughter in reference of Vice President Joe Biden's verbal slip at the bill's signing ceremony where he was heard telling the president "This is a big F-ing deal"

"And he was right," Obama said.

Please explain where he lied and how it was disrespectful.

Please explain where he lied and how it was disrespectful.

First off, its a credit not a tax cut.

Second, this amount is offset by the cost of borrowing to pay for the stim bill and bailouts which are a hidden tax.  I posted on this extensively. 

Third, there are tax increases increases in obamacare as well as a looming VAT Tax, Cap & Trade, etc.

Did you see the clip?  Very sarcastic.  People are protesting all across the country and he just straight up dismissed them.

The tone was not fitting of a president...especially one that claimed to be someone that brought people together.  Obama is devisive...the tone is popular with the liberal left though.

Various taxes have gone up this year already and next year we could see huge increases if Obama doesn't renew the Bush tax cuts and increases the tax on all capital gains.  Additionally, the 3.8% healthcare tax increase for people making over 200K (or 250) is law...not sure which year that starts.  Cap & trade will create additional huge taxation.  As would the proposal the left is tossing around concerning a national sales tax.

Things would be a lot worse with taxation if the country didn't start speaking up this year.  I think that halted a few of the proposed liberal tax increases.  There is a proposal for increased gasoline tax on the table too.

Rush tore him a new ahole today by thanking Obama for all the great things he has done.I remember one was "thank you Mr. President for insulting the American people but embracing groups like ACORN and the New Black Panther party".It was classic and once again made Obama look like the lying dope he is.

We got a tax rebate of 1300 dollars.Didnt we get a similar one under Bush for like 800 dollars and didnt he give it to us in one lump sum so we could actually buy something with it while Obama spread it out in 15 dollar incriments where it didnt buy you shit.I dont recall ONE liberal celebrating that as a tax cut,not one not ever.

TAX RATES HAVE NOT GONE DOWN ONE PENNY AND WILL SOON GO UP AS THIS FOOL LETS THE BUSH TAX CUTS EXPIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By the way,should the tea party thank him for 9.7% unemployment?His takeover of GM and Chrysler?His assanine health care scheme?His exploding of the deficit?His never ending government intrusion?

Put it this way, they didn't pull the money out of the savings account.

I dont know where they are getting that $1300 figure. I think most of the lowest income people had less withheld from thier paycheck throughout the year which they probably didnt even feel, and then they got about $100 more in thier tax refund.

[Soul Crusher]

Its just more bs from obama.
