Pretty odd, given that President Obama has cut taxes multiple times for all but the wealthiest of Americans, and the deficit has gone down every year since he took office.
Both the Tax Bill and Deficit comments are 100% bullshit, and they know this.
However, the 'Mood Disorder Disability' since Obama was elected is so very, very true.
Sure, Jackson is an unethical crook who may, in fact, need help. Bipolar is no joke, I've seen it for real.
But this isn't about Jackson, is it?
More lying lies from the lying liars at some rightwing think tank or another.
Agree: this *mostly* isn't about Jesse Jackson, Jr, but, then again, Jesse Jackson, JR is blackity black black black and a dreaded horrid Democrat to boot.
So: a two-fer.
I don't know enough about Jackson's story to comment on it, but there's plenty of whitey white white Republicans who've been convicted for shenanigans & they end up with pensions, etc.
But you won't see some rightwing think tank sending out an "ohmigawd" email forward about them.
Different standards for those who are not melanin-challenged.
