Obama: Public is 'sold' on tax increases in a debt-ceiling deal
By Sam Youngman and Alicia M. Cohn - 07/15/11 11:54 AM ET
President Obama on Friday kept up the pressure on Republicans to agree to revenue increases in a deal to raise the debt ceiling, claiming 80 percent of the public supports Democrats' demand for tax increases.
"The American people are sold," Obama said. "The problem is members of Congress are dug in ideologically."
Throughout the press conference, Obama blasted Republicans for ignoring what he said is the will of the American people by rejecting tax increases that would balance out spending cuts in a debt package.
"I hope [Republicans are] not just listening to lobbyists and special interests ... I hope they're listening to the American people as well," Obama said, citing "poll after poll" showing Republican voters, as well as Democrats, believe in taking "a balanced approach" — including both increased revenues and spending cuts in a plan to cut the deficit.

"I always have hope," Obama said. "Don't you remember my campaign?"

I think this is proof that whatever Bizzarro world the Jug-Eared Kenyan Messiah and the Dhimmi'Rats live in, it isn't the same as our own.

55% Oppose Tax Hike In Debt Ceiling Deal
Thursday, July 14, 2011
As the Beltway politicians try to figure out how they will raise the debt ceiling and for how long, most voters oppose including tax hikes in the deal.
Just 34% think a tax hike should be included in any legislation to raise the debt ceiling. A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 55% disagree and say it should not.

I've gotten to where I'm truly enjoying this whole debt ceiling drama because THE ONE is showing his true stripe here for all to see.
As the days go on he is growing more and more insolent and petulant which is all he seems to be capable of. He's got no game.
Middle America, those who elected this whelp, are seeing the real Barry here in all his true glory.
Give a fool enough rope...

You forget, though... Democrats use new math. 55% opposition = 80% approval.

Heh, fine by me. :-)

And about that "don't call my bluff" to Cantor....a commenter on another blog said "The Emperor has no cards, either." I liked that. :-)

I'm guessing Barry got the 80% number from Rachel Maddow. On DU, someone has a graphic of Rachel pointing to a poll that says that 80% want to tax the rich.

What is surprising is that only 80% of her viewers want to tax the rich. :whistling:
