Fresh off the Historic Loss of roughly 1% of his proposed $3+ trillion dollar budget* suffered at the hands of John Boehner and his relentless, cost-cutting GOP jungle cats, a clearly weakened President Obama will try to regain footing Wednesday when he offers what the Washington Post is calling a “new approach to deficit reduction” — one that very timidly and bashfully ignores both his own debt commission’s recommendations and the results of the November midterm elections to reintroduce class warfare rhetoric, tax increases, and “reform” that will include raising the debt limit and doubling the debt in the course of the next decade.
Clearly chastened by the upstart GOP firebrands who have so triumphed in the new era of Washington civility, Obama will very sheepishly call for “the rich” to pay their fair share, ensuring that a freshly poor federal government — down a whopping $38 billion in proposed spending — has enough “revenues” to pay for social necessities. Like abortion on demand, new federal lands, and the kind of sprawling bureaucratic apparatus that is a necessity for any government hoping to return to fiscal sanity. Look for very timid plans to increase estate and payroll taxes, and to further ever so delicately and carefully, so as not to raise the ire of a dangerous GOP leadership, wage war against small businesses, the middle class, manufacturing, and the energy industries.
We’ve got him on the run, boys! Take a victory lap.

*the largest budget offered by any President in the history of ever
We have this article explaining just how rough President Obama has it: http://tinyurl.com/3d64a4a
Quick, libs, tell me again just how smart the current occupant of the Oval Office is?
The comments at the end of the article tend to give one a little more faith about our fellow Americans.
Come now, Jeff. Much of the professional punditocracy is telling you that this represents a move to the fiscal right, much in the way the Titanic went “hard-a-starboard” when it spotted an iceberg in its way…
That worked out well for the Titanic, didn’t it?
Politico fluffs Plouffe
Plotter and Obambi are fundamentally dishonest and unserious about this. This is a campaign ad for them. Same old playbook.
Plotter? I typed Poofter.
Time for some more redistribution of debt.
The soon to be released secret plan to make ObamaCare work?
Leeches. Lots and lots of leeches.
But I thought they repealed the tax-reporting part, B. Moe.
How come The O continues to pursue the 2008 tax agenda . . . . ?
We have got to drive a stake through the heart of “tax the rich” !!!!
