Media Research Center hi Brett I I want to show you three headlines ripped from the news this morning first all the headline in the New York Times reads.
GOP.
Bolts at White House plan on fiscal what second.
Huffington Post this morning.
Surprise GOP outraged by often they received two weeks ago and from NBC news.
The GOP says White House off on fiscal cliff is on balance Brent.
Tell me tell them rocket seems like the media is setting up to blame the Republicans for this outrageous offer from the president go.
With the offer.
The -- but at the -- a massive tax increase.
No entitlement reform and no restraint on borrowing now that's an offer another word.
And that the words there's no -- and how did they should beat the story what.
That the whole debate has been going on for two years.
About having eight -- aid package of spending cuts to go along with a package of tax increases.
And now we've got the senate saying that the one problem.
Entitlements is now off the table meaning -- no -- serious and you've got the White House saying we don't have any plans to cut anything in other words there is no play.
That should be the -- just next door it can't hurt in the 2012 campaign needs her eight nobody in the media are the fact that.
That called Barack Obama didn't have a plan for a second administration.
Yes it's mind boggling if it is I'm sitting here trying to keep a smile on my face I'm looking at this so called off off.
Which if it were implemented would put America straight into recession.
And yet -- -- the establishment media from top to bottom all of them.
That basically setting up to -- if the Republicans fault because they have rejected this offer from the -- the -- idea -- -- the only in the care about is tax cuts aren't tax increases on the greedy rich.
They know that it's up all a big farce they know.
That when you increase taxes by eighty billion and you have a deficit of one point three trillion.
Bob -- a war no nobody at all no I disagree Brent I disagree.
I think they they don't know that they don't know about tax increases.
Has resulted in an and it messed up because it don't think they want tax increases because -- socialists.
And here -- here is that this honesty I have seen story after story after story.
Are hammering Republicans about the need to break their pledge.
To Grover Norquist look this wasn't a pledge of tax cuts to Grover Norquist I can -- to you.
Every single Republican that some Democrats do.
Running for congress or the senate I guarantee you every single one -- to their constituents I won't raise your taxes.
Every single one did that so everyone who breaks that wage is breaking a promise to his constituents that.
Was the story yes all right now we gonna do.
What are we gonna do in the future what's -- what's going on him.
Well I think I think it's climbing I think what you got is -- -- cancer that that is the exploding debt debt.
And what they're looking for is the right band aid to put on it to tell America we just got over that hump.
And you know darn well that in January they coming right back with the next fiscal disaster and they'll look for an expanded put on it I think no one has -- -- -- -- not to Republicans and not the Democrats.
I I think that we have a campaigner in chief and I think with setting up a debt crisis at some point in the future this thing about removing the debt ceiling full wrap up.
Taking away any congressional authority of a future borrowing that.
Will -- it why isn't that headline news across America why isn't that that that.
This this this band Obama is scaring me I tell you he is taking more and more power -- to himself and taunting.
That the congress taunting the courts in his in his presidential addresses taunting them.
And throw them -- fact he's sticking -- look all of these days.
This is scary scary stuff we cannot continue doing this this country is going to fall apart.
Yeah of this well the president does that -- toy factory today up plastics plant -- in Pennsylvania he still campaigning.
He is -- and I'm sure all of the liberal -- any moment.
And anything that he has that is destroyed he will come back with saying that the federal government takes it over it'll all be well.
That was -- last --
