Obama to Raise Taxes?

"Ed Henry: will Obama still rule out signing any bill that raises taxes on people making under $250,000 a year?

"I think we get this question once a week," Gibbs says. "I think in many ways...what marks the difference between this health care effort and other health care efforts is exactly what the president described: a very large table with people sitting at it...We haven't drawn a lot of bright lines."

Dodge of the day -- asked, point-blank, if Obama's no-new-taxes pledge was still operative in the context of health care reform, Gibbs replies: "We're gonna let the process work its way through."


Wow, looks like we should be expecting some tax raises soon. Democrats cleared the climate bill on Friday that is paving the way for an energy tax. Healthcare reform is bound to raise some taxes under Congress' liberal agenda. What's next?
