Boston Globe: ummm all that bullshit Obama said about not raising your taxes? Yea, it was all bullshit.

Ouch, this is going to leave a mark. I have of course, reported the Boston Globe to the Whitehouse as being counter-revolutionary purveyors of "fishy" stuff.

Now, it would be economic folly to raises taxes while the economy is still sputtering badly^{[but they will do it anyway]}. But by the same token, it’s highly disingenuous to suggest that taxes on the middle class will never have to rise. When the recovery comes, this nation simply has to start putting its fiscal house in order. And you can’t do that just by cutting spending and raising taxes on high earners^{[cutting spending?, ha, ha, ha, comedy club gold here]}.

...It’s all the more disappointing because President Obama has generally been good about leveling with the American people about the challenges we face. But on this issue, he made an unrealistic campaign promise ^{[translation: he lied to win an election]}- and now, by undercutting experts who hint at the truth, the White House is only digging him in deeper^{[translation: its others in the administration discrediting him, not his own transparent campaign lies]}.
