Republican House Speaker John Boehner hammered President Barack Obama on Tuesday after accounting firm Ernst and Young released a study funded by pro-business groups hostile to the Democrat's agenda. The firm's results showed that Obama's proposed tax hikes on the wealthy could cost the already sputtering economy more than 700,000 jobs.

"Our economy is still struggling under President Obama's policies, and his massive tax hike will only make things tougher," Boehner said in a statement. "It's one of the worst possible ideas at one of the worst possible times for families and small businesses."

    " funded by pro-business groups hostile to the Democrat's agenda."

    Who'd have thunk that a poll funded by a group hostile to the Democrats would have played out any other way?

    You just effectively equated bums and poor as the same in your statement there. To us the poor are those disenfranchised by society and policy. Where bums are good for nothing leaches on society, whether they wear $10000 italian suits in a New York penthouse, or look like scumbag Steve.

    Yes it does. It makes it sound like the numbers they're releasing were massaged a specific way to fit an agenda, rather than objectively report empirical data with factual analysis. Ernst & Young is a financial group. What makes you think they are any more innately objective than any other wall street financial group?

    It doesn't take a highly educated person to read a report from a financial group to be able to tell how the argument is being framed. It's either an agenda-biased report or it isn't. And if it's an agenda-biased report, there's a reason why. You have to ask yourself why, if you even care. But for you, all you are interested in doing is presenting a clearly biased report and calling it truth to all. So we're laughing at you. You're just going to have to get used that response when you try and post ridiculous propaganda and try to pass it off as objective.

    Oh please...the 2010 election was more of a referendum on the poor economy as opposed to the democrat's/president's approval rating. Now that we've seen how the newly elected Tea party republicans conducted themselves after being elected I seriously doubt that we'll see a repeat of that republican victory.

    There was a new poll this week (I think it was from CNN?) that showed the president with a thirteen point lead. And if you look at the average of the polls on Real Clear Politics they still show the president with a lead...even with a proven biased poll (Rasmussen) included in that average.

    The economy hasn't improved and so Obama is going to take a big one on the chin. If he's reelected, he'll have a Republican House and Senate to contend with and he won't get much. I seriously doubt he'll be reelected!

    "Ernst and Young are very credible"

    That's hilarious!

    In the most sweeping allegations against an accounting firm in nearly a decade, New York's attorney general is accusing accounting giant Ernst & Young of helping Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. disguise its financial condition for more than seven years, while collecting more than $150 million in fees from the firm.

    Yeah, creating four and a half million American jobs against the most hostile obstructionist minority in this nation's history was pretty destructive, wasn't it. At this rate in another four years we might be at full employment, and what a disaster THAT would be! What will the Right Wing do without poor people to try to destroy??
