Carney ties fiscal cliff to school shooting

In a press question that had nothing to do with the Newtown school shooting, but rather the fiscal cliff, take a listen at how WH spokesman Jay Carney addressed this yesterday (followed by a response from Rush)...

CARNEY: The president’s insistence that rates need to go up on the top 2% was based on an economic reality, which is that in order to achieve a broad deficit reduction package that puts our economy on a sustainable fiscal path in the future, a certain level of revenue gleaned from the wealthy has to be met. The balance is important because a plan that does not have it puts unduly the burden on senior citizens or on middle class Americans or on parents with disabled children.

RUSH: Parents with disabled children now get thrown into the mix. I wonder why? So now we have to raise taxes on the rich for a new reason, so that there is not an undue tax burden on parents with disabled children, which would include mentally disabled, which is meant to mean Adam Lanza-type children. So Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, has just sought to persuade the necessity of raising taxes on the rich so as not to further burden parents with disabled children. You don’t think they’re politicizing this, huh? That’s pretty brazen. That’s pretty blatant.

...and that's pretty shameless...but we've come to expect that from this administration (i.e., Fort Hood, Fast & Furious, Benghazi, etc.).

BTW, this is all BS anyway, because the amount of taxes they're talking about raising would only run the government for a mere 11 days.
