This is Obama trying to be funny on taxes.
Really, this is classic liberal arrogance on display: the rules are supposed to apply to everyone else.

Everyone who’s ever accused conservatives of lacking compassion because we won’t support liberal health care plans should just shut up.
When you have an example where some of your policies actually give the sort of results you keep on promising, then you may speak.
Or just sending a message about how people are supposed to deal with the taxes he’s proposing.
Saffron. And not only does it grow well in Afghanistan, but it’s a crop that’s actually more profitable than opium.
And realizes that they’re class warfare, and not going to help the economy or government in any way.
Don’t forget about the cellphones or energy bills guys! Those will hit everyone, just like all of the other corporate taxes – their purpose is to punish the customers of every industry Obama finds offensive.
To all of the media: When these taxes take affect, and you realize that they are bad and painful things, console yourselves in the fact that you elected Obama through extremely partisan reporting, even though he plainly spoke during the campaign of doing everything you are now discovering. So you can rest happy in the knowledge that not only are you suffering through higher taxes that are hurting the entire economy, but you violated your journalistic integrity and behaved like an idiot in order to do so.
Yet again, a huge global warming event has suffered the Gore effect. It’s so predictable by now that one can predict record breaking snowstorms months in advance, just by looking up the next global warming protest.
Lee Stranahan (h/t Instapundit) wanted the Iraq war to fail.
Hey, at least he’s honest enough to admit it. Most leftists don’t, even though they fought for America’s failure in Iraq every step of the way. Now, Rush Limbaugh wants Obama’s policies to fail, and Lee Stranahan thinks that’s a decent position for Rush. Debate is healthy, after all.
I don’t want Obama’s policies to fail. I know they’re going to fail: they’ve failed every time they’ve been implemented anywhere in the world for the history of the world. They’re going to fail, and America is really going to suffer for it. I want Obama’s policies to not be implemented – but once they are implemented, if there’s some magic way they might actually work, I want them to succeed. A long term depression/recession/slow growth period is a very bad thing. Markets have to go down some time, I understand, but during hard economic times our venture capital dries up, and our technological developments, such as the medicines that are daily becoming more amazing, develop markedly slower, and our charitable giving, which often does so much more than our foreign aid, also slows down. In other words, people are going to suffer and die because of the failure of Obama’s plans, and in fact have suffered and died because of the market failures the Democrats have already inflicted on us.
Housing in Detroit, where Democratic policies have been at work for decades, is now truly affordable for everyone!
Kind of a scorched earth success though, isn’t it?
Democracy, Whisky, Sexy! No thanks to the Democrats, including Obama, who opposed victory every step of the way. Now when Republicans point this out, clearly the only answer is to racially slander the Republicans.
As Glenn points out, magnanimity was never on the menu.
They just needed the Dems to raise a corporate tax on cell phones, and suddenly they understand why the left’s tax policies don’t work!
