You remember it, don't you?
"Ninety five percent of Americans will see a tax CUT." (Never mind that the other 5% are the ones paying the vast majority of the taxes our government sucks out of our jugulars already.... or that the bottom 50% who use most of the services pay practically nothing for them now.)
I repeatedly called that a lie when he dribbled it from his lying sewer mouth.
Let the games begin:
2 Obama administration officials can't guarantee middle-class Americans won't see tax hike
- On Sunday August 2, 2009, 9:24 pm EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama's treasury secretary said Sunday he cannot rule out higher taxes to help tame an exploding budget deficit, and his chief economic adviser would not dismiss raising them on middle-class Americans as part of a health care overhaul.
As the White House sought to balance campaign rhetoric with governing, officials appeared willing to extend unemployment benefits. With former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan saying he is "pretty sure we've already seen the bottom" of the recession, Obama aides sought to defend the economic stimulus and calm a jittery public.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and National Economic Council Director Larry Summers both sidestepped questions on Obama's intentions about taxes. Geithner said the White House was not ready to rule out a tax hike to lower the federal deficit; Summers said Obama's proposed health care overhaul needs funding from somewhere.
"There is a lot that can happen over time," Summers said, adding that the administration believes "it is never a good idea to absolutely rule things out, no matter what."
During his presidential campaign, Obama repeatedly vowed "you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime." But the simple reality remains that his ambitious overhaul of how Americans receive health care -- promised without increasing the federal deficit -- must be paid for.

Odd, isn't it?
The leftists were so concerned about President Bush "lying" that they accused him of lying... even when he didn't.
Now, we have a certifiable con man... a lying low-life socialist who told us, over, and over, and over again that "you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime."
And what is the fringe left saying about that?
Nothing. Because it's perfectly OK on the left for THEIR guy to lie.... because, well, he's THEIR guy, and lying in the name of the cause is just what they do.
