http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h111-2 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." http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D979POSG0&show_article=1 Again Adj, I don't think he was even focusing on cigs and sugar, but again you don't like the guy so I won't keep arguing it. Liar to you. Not to me. do not even begin to tell me what i think nor who i like or dislike i do not like nor dislike him obviously you forgot my posts from when he got elected the facts speak for themselves Oh for heaven sakes don't get you shorts in a knot. my post from just after the election Topic: My appology to black america good thing that they did not hold washington to the standard that some are trying to hold obama to he would have never been president not saying obama is a washington (but not saying hae cant be) obama is in a unique position he can free america as much as washington di if he so choses his party has overwhelming control of congress and the senate he could get the antiterrorist bill and the patriot act repealed he could instill term limits he could get line item veto he could do a lot of good things but will he that is the question http://mingle2.com/topic/show/178339 ---------- yep that sure looks like i dislike him |

I think he has done as good as he could, worse was done 30 years ago with Nixon and Ford. |
