OMG, he went there: Obama: "I've Actually Done My Own Taxes" (video)

http://www.kmbz.com/Obama-s-Romney-Shot-I-ve-Actually-Done-My-Own-Taxe/14260491

President Obama today sharpened a personal line of attack on his Republican rival, mocking Romney’s tax proposals and renewing a charge that he is an outsourcing “pioneer.”

“I’ve actually done my own taxes,” Obama said, showing a hint of disdain for Romney at a rally in Eden Park. “I don’t know about some of these other folks, but I’ve done them, you know… So I know we can make it more simple and more fair.”

The president blasted the Romney-Ryan tax plan as slanted toward upper-income earners, increasing burdens on the middle class and growing the federal deficit. “As President Clinton pointed out, there’s one thing missing from it: arithmetic. Arithmetic,” Obama said.

Everyone understands arithmetic, simple arithmetic, understands when it adds up and when it doesn't.

Clinton's use of it in his speech was brilliant, absolutely brilliant, imo.
