Obama, eltist tax-and-spend socialist Marxist tax-raising librul, cuts taxes by $116 billion:

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — What if a president cut Americans’ income taxes by $116 billion and nobody noticed?

“You’re right, you’re right,” he said. “I’ll be honest with you: it was so subtle that personally, I didn’t notice it.”
