Obama’s tax “strike zone” shrinking

Most baseball managers/coaches are not all that concerned that a given umpire’s strike zone is tight or loose… whether it benefits batters or pitchers.  The most important thing to both teams during the game is not the size of the strike zone but whether or not the umpire keeps the strike zone consistent.  Keep it the same for both teams during the game.  If the strike zone wobbles then the umpire is in for a very long and probably unpleasant game.

Obama’s “strike zone” on taxes is shrinking… mid game. Obama’s position in the past was that he would raise taxes on families making more than $250,000 a year and individuals making more than $200,000. But a couple of days ago he seemed to have changed that. I have waited for an explanation of his shift but have not heard anything to explain it. The other day during one of his rallies and according to his “Defining moment” ad, he now says that taxes will be lowered on “working Americans” earning $200,000 per year or lower.

Then Biden opens his mouth and adds to the confusion… he says that the tax cuts are for families earning $150,000 a year or less.

So which is it?  Where is the consistency?  Don’t Obama and Biden talk to each other?  Are they working off the same set of talking points?  Evidently not.  Or they can’t articulate the facts.  In any case, the strike zone is changing and we as Americans can’t tell what to expect.

This all goes back to my post from the other day ("THE ONE major reason I will not vote for Obama")… you just cannot trust what he says.
