#1 "When it comes to the middle-class tax cut," the president said, "we know that that's going to be in place for at least the next two years."
Big tax increases come after the mid-term elections.

Not if people wise up and GET RID of these thieving democrats. Notice the lack of "gallows humour" last evening? Barry has obviously experienced a recent rush of blood to his head and realized no one outside the beltway is laughing. Watching smirking Rahm on the sidelines with his index finger positioned virtically over his lips in the signaling position was disgusting. An uninspiring, 58 minute softball game. I was hoping a few people would turn around and watch his script on the big screen. We deserve better, much, much better.

#4 When plans meet the enemy. This is getting to be like watching your five year old trying to catch a baseball for the first time or trying to ride his bike without training wheels. Except there is more at risk here than a scrapped knee or bump on the head.

#5 At one point during his news conference, responding to a question regarding deficit projections, President Obama lead into his answer with

I'm not going to lie to you

Anyone who has experience in negotiation or interrogation should instantly recognize that tell. Its not dissimilar to a misbehaving child responding to a parents question with To be honest
