In his interview with Stephie:

STEPHANOPOULOS: That may be, but it's still a tax increase.

OBAMA: No. That's not true, George. The -- for us to say that you've got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase. What it's saying is, is that we're not going to have other people carrying your burdens for you anymore than the fact that right now everybody in America, just about, has to get auto insurance. Nobody considers that a tax increase. People say to themselves, that is a fair way to make sure that if you hit my car, that I'm not covering all the costs.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But it may be fair, it may be good public policy...

OBAMA: No, but -- but, George, you -- you can't just make up that language and decide that that's called a tax increase. Any...

STEPHANOPOULOS: Here’s the...

OBAMA: What -- what -- if I -- if I say that right now your premiums are going to be going up by 5 or 8 or 10 percent next year and you say well, that's not a tax increase; but, on the other hand, if I say that I don't want to have to pay for you not carrying coverage even after I give you tax credits that make it affordable, then...

OBAMA: George, the fact that you looked up Merriam's Dictionary, the definition of tax increase, indicates to me that you're stretching a little bit right now. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gone to the dictionary to check on the definition. I mean what...

Translation: George, using actual meanings of words and insisting they mean things is absolutely out of line! I am The Obama, and you are just a little bug that won't be having another interview any time soon.
 
If I go from paying $75 every other week for my family to a higher amount I will absolutely consider it a tax increase.

quite absurd of you to think of it like that. Clearly it is not a tax increase. It is simply the government forcing you to spend more of your money on a program they deem appropriate for you. How dare you pretend the government taking more of your money is a tax increase!!!

Clearly the Libs here get their Marching Orders from The Obama. You don't agree with their agenda, and out comes the humiliation hammer.

Elitist, pompous, FOS rhetoric per usual.

Obama's overt arrogance and condescension is becoming too funny.

Obama and his puppet's biggest mistake is talking to good Americans like they are mentally retarded 2 year olds.

The backdraft is just starting to roil up.

If the conservatives on this site are any indication, treating you like retarded two-year-olds was awfully generous of him.
