Once Again… Media Ignores Obama’s Horrific Lie About GOP Wanting to Raise Taxes on Middle Class

Once again, President Barack Obama repeated his outrageous lie that Republicans want to raise taxes on the middle class during a conference call last week.
USA Today reported:

In a conference call with political supporters, Obama said: “We are going to go right back at Republicans in showing why the things that they wanted in this compromise don’t make sense.”

One of those fights will be over the very thing that some Democrats are angry about: The two-year extension of George W. Bush-era tax cuts for the nation’s wealthiest Americans.

“When they expire in two years, I will fight to end them,” Obama said. “Just as I suspect the Republican Party may fight to end the middle-class tax cuts that I’ve championed and that they’ve opposed.”

When have Republicans opposed tax cuts for the middle class or anyone?
This guy is horribly dishonest. And, of course, the state-run media just continues to let him get away with it.

Fortunately, there are a few Republicans who are not afraid to challenge Obama on his lies.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) corrected the president after he made this same outrageous statement last week:

“He said for instance…that Republicans want to end middle class tax cuts. I thought ‘are you kidding me? The Republicans want to end middle class tax cuts?’ He said that it’s his job to grow the economy. He made one kinda odd statement after the other. And he said Republicans oppose various credits for the middle class. Those are flat out lies!”

It really is a shame that we have a president who is so careless and dishonest with his talking points.
