[DJ13]

2. Only one word comes to mind

LIAR!

[randome]

3. Remind him of that.

All of us.

[Bluenorthwest]

7. What does he have, amnesia? He can't remember his own speeches?

Was he possessed by demon and speaking words not his own?

[randome]

12. So do nothing, then.

It doesn't hurt to reference this video. I don't know if you can include links in WH emails but it's worth a try.

Chained CPI has almost NO chance of passing any of the committees. But we should make our voices loud and clear.

4. Thanks for posting. This is BIG......& absolutely specific... It should be all over the media....

[Dragonfli]

5. I don't know who that guy is you dug up, but he is just another stupid emoprog

Stop dredging up these professional leftists!
The Majority agrees with serious efforts to cut entitlements to pay down a deficit they have nothing to do with!

6. Welcome to DU,

8. If he isn't lying he is weaseling, using broad statements open to multiple interpretations

The man is very dishonest and an anchor around our necks.

9. Obama's "Read my lips, no new taxes" moment. This video will haunt the Democratic Party forever...

And any Democrat running for any office will now have to expend time and effort to distance themselves from this crap.

Sickening.

[PennsylvaniaMatt]

17. No, it will not haunt the Democratic Party forever

Because it won't pass...he didn't put Chained CPI on the table in exchange for nothing. It is attached to $580 billion in new revenue. The GOP will not go for that.

10. Ah HAAAA!!! .... GOTCHA!

He never promised he wouldn't "propose" cuts to Social Security!

So far, this is a Promise KEPT!
so STFU
and add it to The LIST!!!!

(or at least that is what the acolytes are trying to sell today.)

[Autumn]

11. Yeah but he never said he wouldn't offer it!!!

or some stupid shit like that. I can't rec this enough.

[forestpath]

14. That sounds exactly like an excuse he would use, too.

[brentspeak]

15. Obama - just another shameless lying political huckster n/t

[jsr]
