During the election we were force fed the idea that Obama would take office and things would change. We were told that the change would be important, it would not be granular changes, but large philosophical changes. The left bought this hook line and sinker.
Let’s look at the broad picture.
The left hated Geo. W Bush because he used the events of 9/11 as pre-text to further a neo-conservative foreign policy.
So what does Obama do do in his first month in office? He uses the economic crisis as pre-text to roll out a leftist economic agenda and democratic spending package.
It was this “false” pre-text of 9/11 that caused the left to latch onto Obama for he was going to light the way and steer us clear of typical Washington politics. No, God forbid anyone question the President or any democrat about this double standard
What is amazing is that the left did not have buy into this charade. Many rational Americans saw through Obama’s thin veneer. The left had an option: Hillary. As much as I dislike her, I don’t think she is a wolf in sheeps clothing, she is just a wolf. In this administration she and Geithner are about the only rational people in the WHite House. In any event, regardless of who would have won the democratic ticket we would have had the same economic policies as it was Pelosi and Reid who developed the recovery package, not the savior Obama. He was just too weak willed to come out against the plastic usrgery machine that is Nancy Pelosi.
These are facts, published by Fox News, buried by fearmongering lefties and redistributed by Canadians. It is a fair story that points out shortcomings of GOPers and dems. Amazing that we have to say that.
Will the people of Massachusetts vote out the bumbling fool Barney Frank already? Seriously. We do not care if you elected another Democrat (actually we do, but this is just to make a point). Franks is an idiot and makes Massachusettsians looks foolish as well.
The Bush Admin and Senator McCain warned repeatedly about Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac and what thus became the 2008 financial crisis — starting in 2002 (and actually even earlier — in the Clinton and Carter White Houses. Democrats resisted and kept to their party line, extending loans to people who couldn’t afford them — just like you would expect of socialists.
Obama is playing the American Public for fools and the media is falling for it. Just look at what he says and what he does. It is absolutely stunning that he is getting away with this. I think its a game for him to see how far he can push things:
First, the Messiah, puts on a document on a White House web page saying that he will ” … will ban earmarks from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that will soon go before Congress.”
Then he goes to the Democratic retreat and all but brags about the pet projects in the bill:
“Then there’s the argument that this is filled with pet projects. When was the last time that we saw a bill of this magnitude move out with no earmarks in it? Not one (Applause)” (we posted the video here)
Then, Yesterday, he talks to some folks in Indiana and “… bragged about getting Congress to produce a package with no pork, yet boasted it will do good things for a Hoosier highway and a downtown overpass, just the kind of local projects lawmakers lard into big spending bills”.
A liberal friend of mind said “it just symantics”. that’s right. This is flat out playing loose with words to trick the American public into buying the idea that Pelosi’s plan to spend unprecedented amounts of money is the right – and only – course to take.
This guy is playing us for fools; and this is justĀ one small issue.
