Are they happy now, …. those that voted against McCain?

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is leaving the door open to taxing health care benefits, something he campaigned hard against while running for president.

Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., raised the issue with Obama during a private meeting Tuesday with the president and other Democratic senators and later reported the president's response: "It's on the table. It's an option."

The federal government would reap about $250 billion a year if it treated health care benefits given to employees like wages and taxed them.

PrezBro' and his cast from Planet of the Apes are going to do all in their power to grab as much control as possible. Remember whatever the dimwit does he'll do with the blessing of Congress.

Seem to me now is the time to quit worshipping at the feet of Byrd, Rockefeller and the rest of goon squad and instead remove their sorry butts from office if they vote for such a thing or allow PRezBro' to do it through the IRS.
