(7,169 posts)"The White House, Obama, puts out this tweet, "I'm asking the American people to keep their stories coming. Tell us what $40 means to you. President Obama," and this was the first response. It was from some guy named "ScareBaby." That's how he identified himself! The first response to Obama's tweet: "$40 a month means I can pay my Internet bill and keep my tiny small business alive."
That was the first response and the White House retweeted it. Now, of course, it's BS. Nobody actually sent that. That's a White House-generated response. And do you know how I know? You may not know how I know. But this is the level of ignorance that we have that is associated with this. Mr. ScareBaby cannot possibly have a small business and get this payroll tax cut. The self-employed don't get it. If you are self-employed, you know it. This doesn't even apply to you. There is no payroll tax cut for the self-employed. So Mr. ScareBaby here says, "$40 a month means I can pay my Internet bill and keep my tiny small business alive." The White House retweets it. If he has a small business he's self-employed, and this 2% payroll tax cut only applies to employees. Not him.
In fact, maybe I ought to report this disinformation to Obama's new "truth team." He's got new truth teams out there. You heard about this? In every state, he has truth teams. They're out there to counter the lies and misinformation about the regime that pop up, and this is not new. What was the first thing like this they had? (interruption) Yeah, what was the name of the website? I can't remember the name of the website. But, anyway, it's just an extension or an expansion of that. So Mr. ScareBaby, this is obviously not a real person. This is somebody in the White House getting this Tweet ball rolling. Minor, minor point."
