Obama Says Middle Class Tax Hikes on the Table
WASHINGTON - President Obama says he is now "agnostic" about raising taxes on households making under $250,000 a year to help cut budget deficits, signaling a possible retreat from a campaign pledge.

In an interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek on newsstands Friday, Obama said a presidential budget commission needs to look at all options for deficit reduction - including tax increases and cuts in spending on such programs as Social Security and Medicare.

"The whole point of it is to make sure that all ideas are on the table," Obama said. "So what I want to do is to be completely agnostic, in terms of solutions."

Obama repeatedly vowed during the 2008 campaign to spare households earning less than $250,000 a year from tax increases.

When top economic officials last August suggested going back on the pledge, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs quickly reiterated the promise.

agnostic?

Main Entry: 1ag·nos·tic

Function: noun
Etymology: Greek agnōstos unknown, unknowable,

1 : a person who holds the view that any ultimate reality (as God) ib]is unknown and probably unknowable[/b]; broadly : one who is not committed to believing in either the existence or the nonexistence of God or a god
2 : a person unwilling to commit to an opinion about something <political agnostics>

so Obama is either completely clueless (unknowledgeable), not able to commit to an action.. or unable to commit an opinion?

so much for "leadership" :roll: :roll: :wink: :?
