Weekly Address: Urging Congress to Extend the Middle Class Tax Cuts

President Obama speaks to the American people from a busy factory floor in Pennsylvania about the urgent need to pass the middle class tax cuts, which will give families and businesses preparing for the holidays the certainty they need going into the New Year. Democrats and Republicans must come together to pass one thing that everyone agrees on—extending income tax cuts for 98 percent of American families and 97 percent of small businesses, and there is no reason to wait. The President urges Congress to take action to help grow our economy and strengthen the middle class.

This guy, this talking head, will never address the spending of the government. He will just keep talking on and on about "balanced budgets".

[TechnologicalTyranny]

The U.S. spends far more than it takes in, cutting taxes to the middle class and trying to fool everybody that the so-called "rich" can pay for it all is completely blind-siding us all.

"Hi everybody! The country is underwater and I wanted rich people to somehow come up with the trillions of dollars that the United States is indebted, TOYS will make it up, lets stay positive......we don't want to raise taxes on the middle class, BECAUSE the rich will pay for those cuts. Listen to me, I am President Obama, you voted me into office."
