Obama TV has been blasting the Republicans for “wanting to raise taxes” on the American people.. the problem with this lie is that Obama himself wanted a 1 year extension to the payroll tax cut, and his own Senate leader went against what he wanted. So Obama changes his mind and when the Republicans try and give Obama what he wanted, he starts yelling about how they are trying to hold the people hostage for their own political gains and that the Republicans WANT to raise the taxes on the American People.
