At today's White House Press conference, spokesman Robert Gibbs was asked if President Obama was standing by his pledge to not raise taxes on anyone making less than $250 thousand. Gibbs said, "the question is hypothetical" and "we are going to let the process work it's way through." He refused to reaffirm Obama's pledge in spite of being pressed by reporters. Many claim the promise was broken when cigarette taxes were raised.
