It takes quite a set a cajones to claim that you haven’t broken a promise when even the lefty Associated Press says you broke the promise.

Question: A lot of business leaders consider you to be antibusiness. I was struck when I attended the Aspen Institute Ideas Festival. [Council of Economic Advisers member] Austan Goolsbee was speaking, and he hit a fairly hostile audience. These are wealthy, fairly progressive older people who had tended to support you, but they seemed very upset about corporate taxes, individual taxes, card check, all sorts of things you’re doing that they perceived as not helpful to them. What can you say to those people?

Answer: Let’s look at the record. I’ve been in office six months. So far my only tax policy has been to cut taxes for 95% of working people. I haven’t signed a bill that’s raised taxes yet.

I’m fully convinced that the president has no clue that the internet actually exists. Perhaps he thinks it’s only a cool concept right now. Because he makes an assertion and then tells us to check his record for confirmation of said assertion. A quick Google search, however, reveals just how much of a damn liar he  is….every time.

Flashback to February:

The measure — funded primarily by increasing the federal tax on cigarettes by 61 cents, to $1 a pack — sailed through the House earlier Wednesday on a largely party-line vote of 290 to 135. The Senate overwhelmingly approved the bill last week.

And from the April Associated Press article:

WASHINGTON (AP) – One of President Barack Obama’s campaign pledges on taxes went up in puffs of smoke Wednesday.The largest increase in tobacco taxes took effect despite Obama’s promise not to raise taxes of any kind on families earning under $250,000 or individuals under $200,000.

This is one tax that disproportionately affects the poor, who are more likely to smoke than the rich.

Obama raised taxes on all Americans, including the poor, no matter what he now claims about his record. He broke his tax pledge just a few months into his presidency in order to fund expanded entitlements. Please stop lying, Mr. President.
