"'And this is your plan, John,' he said at one debate. 'For the first time in history, you will be taxing people's health-care benefits.' Mr. Obama added that the McCain proposal was 'radical,' 'the biggest middle-class tax increase in history,' 'out of line with our basic values' and that 'the choice you'll have is having your employer no longer provide you health care.' Combined with heavy advertising and Mr. McCain's inability to defend his own ideas, these distortions were highly effective.
In a deeply cynical turnabout, the White House now says a tax on employer benefits is acceptable as long as someone else proposes it. We suppose anyone would be embarrassed to endorse a fundamental insight that he once claimed was vile and destructive."
Well, at least the President's cynicism and dishonesty are at the expense of his left-wing supporters for a change.
