Obama the liar catches OUR pants on fire!
Obama – the Pied Piper of Government – dulcet tones read from a teleprompter, his eyes going from left to right following his speech as written by some of his socialist companions… there is no doubt that he is a good orator, but only if he has his teleprompter to refer to. Without it, he is pathetic in his delivery. However, what this country needs is not a good orator, but a leader who is willing to make decisions predicated on the country’s needs – not following strictly political aims. His political aims are what makes him attack the Chamber of Commerce, insurance companies, Fox News and Wall Street.
I quote Charles A. Beard, “It is sobering to reflect that one of the best ways to get yourself a reputation as a dangerous citizen these days is to go about repeating the very phrases which our founding fathers used in the struggle for independence.” Even though Obama calls the founding fathers “so-called”, I will quote one of them, Thomas Jefferson, “I predict the future happiness of Americans if they can prevent the government wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.” ~ which is what Obama is attempting to do.
Now I hear Obama is wanting to give aid and comfort to the newspaper industry. I can hardly understand how they would merit any aid, as they have abandoned their principals and purpose. I suppose he would want to give aid only to those who support him and his views. That’s what I mean when I say they have abandoned their principals and purpose. You know the newspapers I am referring to – I don’t have to say – except to say THEY DESERVE FAILURE!
Oriana Fallaci says, “The moment you give up your principals and your values, you are dead, your culture is dead, your civilization is dead. PERIOD.”
The media of all kinds who are able to express their opinions and points of views and keep track of government crimes, keep track of political acts and their ramifications and fail to do so deserve to fail and be swept up in the dust of history. The same applies to all those companies that were saved by the use of taxpayers’ money, even though they had failed caused by their own greed and failure to run their businesses in a professional manner.
The Democratic party, Barney Frank and others, forced banks to lend money for homes to people who could not afford them and consequently placed a burden on the banks that broke their backs. Even Chris Dodd, Kent Conrad and other Democrats took advantage of sweetheart deals with Countrywide lenders. They have managed to keep any examination of their acts away from the ethics committee or anyone else – similar to no charges having been filed against Charles Rangel for his crooked acts. Remember how the Democrats rushed to protect the Democratic Representative, William Jefferson, with bribery money in his freezer? You could hardly escape the Democrats failure to pay their taxes. However, they expect us to, so they tax any way they can knowing they needn’t pay it themselves.
I have never seen someone who won an election and continued non-stop campaigning after taking Office for NINE MONTHS. Obama won Office by lying. He said his would be a transparent governance; that all bills would be put on the internet for five days before voting; CSPAN cameras would be at every meeting for sunshine purposes; and other lies to obtain votes from the people and not ACORN and the SEIU, of course.
Another great quote is by George Bernard Shaw, “A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always count on the support of Paul.” That, I think, is what Obama figures. And it’s working! I think he thinks he is better than how he describes our “so-called” founding fathers. See attached:
Obama vs. The President He Said He’d Be
By
During the campaign Barack Obama vowed he would be a different kind of leader who would move America beyond the “smallness of our politics.” That inspired promise was not an insignificant part of why he was elected last November.
In Obama told us that “the time has come to set aside childish things.” He promised to bring “an end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.”
Not only has President Obama failed to live up to those promises so far, it appears that on more than a number of occasions he’s made a conscious decision to break them.
In the first nine months in office President Obama and/or members of his administration have accused doctors of performing unnecessary medical procedures for profit; demonized bond holders as “speculators;” produced a report suggesting military veterans are prone to becoming right wing extremists; attacked insurance companies and threatened them with legislative retribution; ridiculed talk show hosts and political commentators by name from the White House podium; dismissed and demeaned protesters and town hall attendees as either unauthentic or fringe characters; maligned a white police officer for arresting a black man without knowing the facts of the case; launched an orchestrated campaign to marginalize the country’s biggest pro-business group; and publicly declared war on a news organization.
Twice in the last week, perhaps carried away by the campaign atmosphere, President Obama ramped up the use of the kind of partisan rhetoric that will drive Americans further apart; once and once .
As a result of this strategy, President Obama’s since taking office while Americans’ disapproval of the way he’s handled his job has more than doubled and is now at an all time high of 44 percent. On Wednesday that the 9-point drop in Obama’s approval rating between July and September was the third most precipitous decline in Presidential history and the worst since 1953.
Americans understand it’s not easy governing a country as divided as ours. It takes hard work to find common ground in a system that’s been increasingly polarized, and it takes political courage for a President to buck the interests of the base of his party when necessary. More than anything else, achieving real bipartisanship requires a good faith effort led by the President that genuinely seeks compromise with the opposition without demonizing, dismissing, or demeaning them.
In fact, that’s exactly how then candidate Obama described his vision of “genuine bipartisanship” in his book, The Audacity of Hope. Obama wrote on page 131:
Genuine bipartisanship, though, assumes an honest process of give-and-take, and that the quality of the compromise is measured by how well it serves some agreed-upon goal, whether better schools or lower deficits. This in turn assumes that the majority will be constrained – by an exacting press corps and ultimately an informed electorate – to negotiate in good faith. If these conditions do not hold – if nobody outside Washington is really paying attention to the substance of the bill, if the true costs of the tax cut are buried in phony accounting and understated by a trillion dollars or so – the majority party can begin every negotiation by asking for 100 percent of what it wants, go on to concede 10 percent, and then accuse any member of the minority party who fails to support this “compromise” of being “obstructionist.”
Though Obama wrote that as a member of the minority and a critique of past policies, it sounds eerily familiar to what’s going on in Washington right now.
Hundreds of billions of dollars in Medicare savings are promised – savings that we’re told cannot occur without voting for a total overhaul of the health care system. Hundreds of billions more have been offloaded in a budget gimmick to make the bill appear less costly than it really is so it will comply with the President’s promise not to add a dime to the federal deficit. Substantive measures proposed by the opposition that would seem to be common sense to include in a “comprehensive” effort – like medical malpractice reform – have been given short shrift.
Lastly, promises of transparency have fallen by the wayside. The reform the President promised would be fully open to the public is now being written by a tiny cadre behind closed doors on Capitol Hill, and Democrats in Congress are resisting a rules change that would allow the bill to be posted online 72 hours before a vote so the public might have a chance to see exactly what it is their elected representatives are voting on.
Voters expect politicians to say one thing and do another. But Obama took the public’s cynicism and turned it to his advantage by vowing he would be a different kind of leader. So far, however, he is falling well short of his promises, using tactics and rhetoric that not only drive Americans apart but hurt him politically. It’s time for Obama to start acting like the President he told us he’d be.
By the way, Obama’s pay czar, Kenneth Feinberg, reminds me of Woody Allen – with a Boston elitist accent.
