How many times did Obama promise to roll back the Bush tax cuts?


A list of 13 times has been complied by Byron York. Now you know why liberals heads are exploding.

Why are liberals so upset by Barack Obama's agreement to extend all the Bush tax cuts, even those on the highest-earning Americans? Perhaps because they believed what he said during the presidential campaign. Just as a reminder, here is a non-exhaustive look at candidate Obama's statements on the Bush tax cuts:

"It's true that I want to roll back the Bush tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans." Chester, Pennsylvania, October 28, 2008

"We are going to roll back the Bush tax cuts on the wealthiest Americans, those making more than $250,000 a year." Lake Worth, Florida, October 21, 2008

"Yes, I'm going to roll back the Bush tax cuts for the very wealthiest Americans." New Philadelphia, Ohio, September 3, 2008
