‘President Barack Obama Says He Didn’t Raise Taxes Once’

Is that correct? According to PolitiFact, it is not:

Obama said, “I didn’t raise taxes once.” But we’ve documented numerous instances when he has. He’s has signed off on small tax cuts for most taxpayers, but that doesn’t change the fact that he’s also approved several tax increases. So we rate his statement False.

Dan Mitchell asks the same question and answers:

I suppose I could take a mature approach to this controversy and explain in mind-numbing detail why the President was wrong, but that wouldn’t be much fun. I’d much rather copy the guy who did the famous QE2 video and have some fun.

Here is his video. It’s very funny.
