the SCHIP bill that increased tobacco was introduced Jan 13, 2009 and signed Feb 4 2009


Did you see all the good the bill does? I would excuse him raising that tax just for those benefits to the children. It was introduced before Obama was in office too. Obama was sworn in on Jan 20th.


I'm sure you would. but when you thought Bush had to have something to do with it...that was wrong of him.

even if Bush started it...BHO signed it

a simple statement "you will not see any of your taxes increase one single dime."

"ANY" taxes
thats a broad statement. If i remember correctly those taxes on tobacco were made into law months before he took office. Maybe I'm wrong?



The ball started rolling in Bush's time on that tax for sure. I am not sure if Obama had anything to do with it other than implementing the final version.


so it was Bush's bad when it was assumed this bill happened under Bush...but perfectly fine now that it started under BHO????? WOW

WASHINGTON (AP) - 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."

his party has overwhelming control of congress and the senate

he could instill term limits

he could get line item veto

he could do a lot of good things

You expected him to do all that in 7 months? and you expected him to actually be able to do all that once in office, as if things are that easy once in there and knowing what he's up against?

he is what he is

and the facts speak for themselves


I'm just taking a stab at your vagueness. I really don't care if you like him or not, it's fine with me if you don't. It's just curious to me that you interpret it that way, but hell I am so tired right now that none of it matters to me. Night Adj...

there are people that change their minds about this president and past presidents....whether for the better or worse.


No chit Sherlock, really? drinker


the point is....why can't people now not like this presidents politics? I think he lied to...but I'm not surprised....he's a politician


Who said they couldn't think what ever they want? Not everyone is going to interpret what he said the way I did or the way that adj did. I am not as cynical as you or others about all politicians, so I don't automatically assume some one is a liar because they haven't lived up to my every expectation.
