Obviously it should surprise no one that Obama does not voluntarily pay more in his taxes. He is the clear leader of people who want other people to pay for their shit. Gonna suck come January when he doesn't have the taxpayer to pay for the lavish vacations.

A tax increase the size of Taxmageddon for just one year is simply unprecedented. Usually tax and budget policies are evaluated on estimates over 10 years. A 10-year tax increase of Taxmageddon’s magnitude would be off the charts. By comparison, all the tax increases in Obamacare—itself an enormous tax increase—raise $502 billion over 10 years, which is almost as much as Taxmageddon will increase taxes just in 2013.

If President Obama and Congress fail to act this year, an enormous, unprecedented tax increase will fall on American taxpayers starting on January 1, 2013. The Washington Post called the looming tax increase “Taxmageddon,”[1] and Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke called it a “massive fiscal cliff.”[2]

Romney may be the worst GOP candidate in your lifetime....how old are you? 20?

I will agree that I'm disappointed that Romney does seem to be the best the Repubs can come up with in a situation where they should be able to nominate a steaming pile of rancid diarrhea and kick Obama's arss.

Nevertheless, it's laughable to assume an "epic scandal" is all the will keep BHO from re-election. Romney aside, the Bammer is simply disliked that much in this country.
