Obama Mocks Tea-Party Protestors While Taking Advantage of Tax Loopholes For Himself

As usual, the mainstream media plays down the Tea Party protests except when it tries to paint them in a bad light. For example, the Tax Day protests in Washington, D.C. were buried on p. 17 of The New York Times, right above an article reporting that the Obamas paid $1,792,414 in federal income taxes on earnings of $5,505,509 for 2009. Is that juxtaposition supposed to be some sort of subtle message that President Obama shares our pain and, therefore, we have nothing to be upset about?

In truth, Obama’s tax reporting raises some concerns of its own. For example, I would like to know why the Obamas deducted $52,195 in home mortgage interest payments and $22,456 in real estate taxes when they have lived for free at taxpayer expense in the White House since January 20, 2009? Even if there were a loophole that they were entitled to take advantage of, why didn’t the Taxer-in-Chief forego these deductions, as well as his $329,100 in charitable deductions, as an example to the rest of us? After all, his Vice President Joe Biden said that paying higher taxes is the “patriotic” thing for the wealthy to do.

For his part, Obama told a fundraiser in Miami in mocking tones that Tea Party protestors should be thanking him for lower taxes:

You would think they’d be saying thank you

With that bit of prompting, his dutiful fans stood up and yelled, “Thank you!”

I agree.  He should have done the "patriotic" thing and forgone the deductions.

'I agree.  He should have done the "patriotic" thing and forgone the deductions.  '


I dont think anyone in america sent the $ back.

[Dos Equis]

   Sent what money back?  It's the government that needs to return our money, not the other way around.

Those of us who actually pay income tax kept the money because ITS OUR MONEY.Obama acts like he gave us something that was his.ITS OUR FREAKING MONEY.He should send all of it back because his filthy administration hasnt done a dam good thing with it except pay off unions.

I agree billy, I got raped this year on taxes and I made less than last year.  taxes suck, absolutely.

However, IMO unless these tea party marchers were protesting for the last 8 years, it's weak to me.  Bush taxed them MORE and they didn't march - but when Obama actually lets them keep $1300 MORE of their money, they protest. 

Would they prefer mccain be president now, and they be 1300 poorer?  Yes.

Not true.  How much debt was added to the average taxpayers' tab due to the excessive borrowing?  So while you may have $1,300 now in your pocket, how much less will you have later as a result since that $1,300.00 comes from fed printing presses only to have to be paid back later?

well, in that case, I will only respect those protesters IF they were protesting the last 9 years.

I mean, those last 2 years of Bush reign were some SERIOUS spending.  If they are okay with 1 or 2 tril a year, but really steamed about obama's spending...

eh, that's weak.  I completely respect anyone who marched in protest under Bush, and is doing it now - and they are right.  But if the people didn't march against Bush's borrowing, and didn't march against Bush's not giving them 1300... now they're pissed they're getting 1300 and pisssed about the deficit... it's weak.  It's partisan, and weak.

Obama owns the tea party plain and simple.  What is with all this cry baby 'he's acting sarcastic' talk?  It's politics and wit i think he's wheeling out some great one liners, b*tch slapping all those cry babies with LOGIC.

Guess what doofuses of this board - THE TAX CREDIT/REBATE/CUT WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT IS WORTH MORE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AT ONE TIME THAN ANY OTHER TAX CUT AT ONE TIME BY ANY PRESIDENT

Please understand this while you cry about 'high taxes' from a president who made a tax contribution to 98% of families larger than any president in history.

Apples?  Do you like them b*tches? 

[Soul Crusher]

KC - I know you hate me and think I am a loon, but please go and buy these two books. 

[Dos Equis]

The Bush tax cuts are expiring.  Better grab your wallets.

Liberal lies as usual.ZERO tax cuts from Obama.Bush lowered tax rates which means we got to pay less taxes EVERY year,not just one year.Reagan dropped the top rate from 70% to 28% which is years of tax breaks not a one time tax rebate that came out to 13 dollars a week and meant nothing.

Obama gets owned day and night by talk radio which is why his approval has gone from 75% to 46% in less then two years.The furthest drop off of any president in history.The tea parties are winning and will win in Nov as well.Oh well at least Obama kept unemployment under 8% with his bid stimulus plan...what a fool he is.

I thought you respected the shrewdness of politics? I guess thats only when its obama being partisan?

[240 is Back]

I am in awe when politicans of both parties manage to maniplulate the thinking of people like sheep, who follow blindly and ignore everything 'their side' does.  It's very shrewd, it's psychology, whatever.

I do not admire the sheeple that fall for that shit tho - if you weren't protesting the Bush borrowing and tax plan, and you are only protesting when Obama borrows - that's sheeple.

I believe their 1st march was against TARP which Bush signed.  It's not like they existed when Bush was in office.  (Not an endorsement, I'm not too thrilled with the Tea Party).

[240 is Back]

anyone who was at that first TARP march, they get my respect.  Even though Palin and mccain supported it, they were able to put their values above partisan politics - very cool there.

But if they supported that (because their prez told them to) then shit on this, they're partisan sheeple.

you do realize youre part of the "sheeple" dont you? you also realize that the "sheeple" are very important cog in the machine, dont you?

how much propaganda have your spewed? how many times have you silverlined? how many times have you deflected or drawn moral equvilants for obama?

do you not believe that these are the signs of a sheep?

bahhhhh bahhhhhh bahhhhhhhhh

[240 is Back]

of course i'm part of the sheeple.  we all are.  its still fun to study how we are manipulated.  the only way to learn how NOT to be manipulated is to first realize and admit that you are currently.

[Dos Equis]

Nonsense.  There are plenty of people who make independents decisions, regardless of political party.  We're the ones elect presidents (and others) all the time.

lol, he seems like a pretty good guy.
