From the AP:
Between Obama's lies, and Attorney General Holder's lies, and Pelosi's lies, and Harry Reid's lies, and... 52% of us got PRANKED! And all of us are paying for it.
The more honest media pundits are already saying Obama will be a one-term President. I'm not advocating violence - because I believe in the Constitutional process - but I will say: Let's hope he lives that long...

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.
"To be sure, Obama's tax promises in last year's campaign were most often made in the context of income taxes. Not always.
"I can make a firm pledge," he said in Dover, N.H., on Sept. 12. "Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes."
He repeatedly vowed "you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime."
Now in office, Obama, who stopped smoking but has admitted he slips now and then, signed a law raising the tobacco tax nearly 62 cents on a pack of cigarettes, to $1.01. Other tobacco products saw similarly steep increases.

I'm sorry. I'm a former smoker but I agree with the taxes on cigarettes. It kills people no doubt and as long as people can "afford" to smoke its gonna crash our health care system. Like I said I use to smoke, a 2 packs a week(7days). Tabacco is garbage tax the shit of it..but leave our goddamn beer and whiskey alone or there'll be HELL to pay!!Posted 05-08-2009 at 04:26 PM by fernandizo
