Obama Considering a VAT Style National Sales Tax?

A post at the website The Worldview Weblog titled The Other Shoe Drops? The Other shoe Drops? mentions talk shows discussing Obama possibly implementing an EU style VAT national sales tax but doesn't specify which talk shows. Has anyone heard of this being discussed? It seems at the very least this could hurt the Fair Tax movement by people confusing a Fair Tax style consumption tax with a VAT. Worse case scenario is if this is true it could end any chance of a Fair Tax being enacted.

We need to demand that there be a National Debate, like the Presidential Debates and get two representatives from the Flat Tax, Steve Forbes and whomever, the VAT Tax who ever in the !@#$ wants it, the status quo, the Fair Tax, Rep. Linder and whomever he chooses.
Hve the debate on Saturday night, I would imagine that Mike Huckabee would gladly relinquis his hour, and if need-be Glenn Beck's hour. If the debate is not finished, then have it the next Saturday, until the American People know what is in store for thm in the future.-----Fair Tax Bob
