Please use this tweet to determine whether you are an awful person.

Basically, if you see this…

…and start babbling about assassination plots and/or conspiracy theories and/or political machinations, then you are an awful person and probably nobody really loves you.  No, not even your dog. Your dog’s just calling it in until you leave the door open.

Barack Obama: JUST LIKE BUSH.

That would be George Herbert Walker Bush, mind you.

Obama, in a Feb. 9 Oval Office interview, said that a presidential commission on the budget needs to consider all options for reducing the deficit, including tax increases and cuts in spending on entitlement programs such as Social Security and Medicare.

“The whole point of it is to make sure that all ideas are on the table,” the president said in the interview with Bloomberg BusinessWeek, which will appear on newsstands Friday. “So what I want to do is to be completely agnostic, in terms of solutions.”

Obama repeatedly vowed during the 2008 presidential election campaign that he would not raise taxes on individuals making less than $200,000 and households earning less than $250,000 a year. When senior White House economic adviser Lawrence H. Summers and Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner suggested in August that the administration might be open to going back on that pledge, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs quickly reiterated the president’s promise.

Via Newser.  So much for ‘not one dime’, huh?  Goodness gracious, this man can’t even go back on his most highlighted domestic policy promise without bloviating about it.

PS: If you’re surprised… why is that?  It’s not like you weren’t warned.
