Remember, in President Obama's first speech as President before a joint session of Congress, he said....

But let me perfectly clear, because I know you’ll hear the same old claims that rolling back these tax breaks means a massive tax increase on the American people: if your family earns less than $250,000 a year, you will not see your taxes increased a single dime. I repeat: not one single dime.

Fast forward to today...

"Feb. 11 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama said he is “agnostic” about raising taxes on households making less than $250,000 as part of a broad effort to rein in the budget deficit. Obama, in a Feb. 9 Oval Office interview, said that a presidential commission on the budget needs to consider all options for reducing the deficit, including tax increases and cuts in spending on entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare."


FYI: agnostic : One who is doubtful or noncommittal about something.


Bend over and grab your ankles.......:D

I wonder if he's perhaps got a loophole on this one... assuming that everyone's taxes are raised at some level more or less than, but definitely not equal to, one single dime.
