You are, of course , quite right on this. And those on the right, along with his other detractors, do have fun with it.

Much like former President HW Bush who scolded the Congress and said "Read my lips, No new taxes" Only later was he forced to compromise and sign bills that did in fact raise taxes. He should have held ground, but didn't, and paid a political price for it.

We, of course, paid the taxes.
