Thoughts of Obama From Bama

Week 118: “Liars, Cheats & Hypocrites”

Bottom of the bottle sure makes you feel good
I'd like you better that way
So clap your hands and make up a song
I hear every word that you say

Cause the pot can't call the kettle black
Cause the train's all runnin' on the same ole track
Can't feel nothing but your life flyin' by
You got trouble on your hands, trouble on your mind Pot Can't Call the Kettle Black, Jerry Jeff Walker

Most if not all politicians are natural born liars, cheats and hypocrites. The current occupant of the White House is just et up with all three with a particular shine for hypocrisy at a level seldom if ever displayed by an American President.

Don’t seem to matter at all on each and every issue, policy and initiative advocated by this Administration there’s a strong prevailing attitude of “Do as we say not as we do”. The arrogance, disdain and contempt this crowd has for We the People is truly alarming.

Examples of Mr. Obama’s unabashed hypocrisy are more abundant than white on rice. Following is a representative list of his extreme hypocritical behavior:

• THE WAR IN IRAQ. Obama – “When it comes to the war in Iraq, the time for promises and assurances, for waiting and patience is over. Too many lives have been lost and too many billions have been spent for us to trust the President on another tried-and-failed policy, opposed by generals and experts, opposed by Democrats and Republicans, opposed by Americans and even the Iraqis themselves. It is time to change our policy. It is time to give Iraqis their country back, and it is time to refocus America's effort on the wider struggle against terror yet to be won”.
After taking office the Administration claimed our victory in Iraq was one of their greatest successes to date. Even the Obama adoring left wing media elite press corps refused to support this Fairy Tale

• OBAMACARE. Over one thousand exceptions have been granted for the most part to Obama supporters and constituents including unions and other major donors. For a program proclaimed by supporters to be the greatest piece of legislation in the history of the Union does seem a tad peculiar so many Obamaites got a pass

• TAXES. In 2010 President Obama earned just north of $1,700,000. This wasn't gross earnings, this was adjusted earnings, the amount the president is responsible to pay taxes on. The actual amount of taxes he forked over was $450 thousand, 26% or there abouts. Almost every day for weeks now the President has enthusiastically claimed that millionaires like him should pay their fair share which in his way of reckoning is closer to 39%.

The IRS is tickled pink to receive donations so anytime you and your under taxed comrades are feeling cheated feel free to cut a check to make up the difference. Chances this would actually happen – When pigs fly; Hell freezes over; and the Obama gang doesn’t blame W for their criminally negligent fiscal policies

• GETTING A HANDLE ON THE SKYROCKETING COST OF GASOLINE. Senator Obama and his Socialist Secretary of Energy both advocated the need to increase the cost of a gallon of gas to $6-$7 bucks to force the end of our dependence on foreign oil and push us into a green energy economy come hell or high water prior to taking office.

Their moratorium on any domestic drilling, suppression of clean coal and shale exploration, and demonization of big oil and evil speculators has prices heading north while the empty rhetoric about punishing those responsible will have absolutely no effect on controlling cost. So far their devious plan to force feed us on their radical green agenda is working as well as a well oiled machine.

• LIBYA. Obama’s criticism of W’s Iraq policy - In the end, no amount of American forces can solve the political differences that lie at the heart of somebody else's civil war.

• BIPARTISANSHIP. Attending a National Prayer Breakfast on Thursday, Obama said his faith has deepened during his two years in the White House and he urged members of Congress to rely on their own faith to build a spirit of civility in Washington. He said that at a time of bitter partisanship, lawmakers must find a way to be open to the ideas of others, while staying true to their core principles.

"I pray that God will show me and all of us the limits of our understanding and open our ears and our hearts to our brothers and sisters with different points of view, that such reminders of our shared hopes and our shared dreams and our shared limitations as children of God will reveal a way forward that we can travel together," the president said.

This is the same man who recently made these remarks about political opponents – “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, we’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us, if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”

• CIVILITY IN OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE. Obama –“Politics has become so bitter and partisan, so gummed up by money and influence, that we can't tackle the big problems that demand solutions. And that's what we have to change first. We have to change our politics, and come together around our common interests and concerns as Americans.”
And then had the following to say several days later - "So if you can't find a job or you can't afford college or don't have health insurance, tough luck -- you are on your own," Obama continued. "Now, if you're a Wall Street bank or an insurance company or an oil company like BP, come on in, help us write the regulations”

• SPENDING OTHER PEOPLE’S MONEY. After a relatively short 118 weeks in office the Obama regime has increased spending by a big ass 86%. Their proposal to freeze spending at current levels claiming it was a major sacrifice on their part and a serious dent in the deficit is the ultimate hypocritical gesture. Recent comments about the GOP’S honest effort to advance real spending controls and deficit reduction have been greeted by a level of unprecedented hypocrisy extreme even for the Obama propaganda machine.

Obama - “Their vision is less about reducing the deficit than it is about changing the basic social compact in America,” He added: “There’s nothing serious about a plan that claims to reduce the deficit by spending a trillion dollars on tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. And I don’t think there’s anything courageous about asking for sacrifice from those who can least afford it and don’t have any clout on Capitol Hill.”

• The President also personally invited several of his political opponents, including the author of the GOP Budget Proposal Congressman Ryan, to sit in the front row while he gave his 2012 campaign kickoff speech by making partisan attacks at Ryan's recently unveiled deficit-cutting proposals and Republicans in general during a 43 minute class warfare and race baiting diatribe

This most recent action is not only hypocritical but also just downright tacky. Business as usual for a Chicago political thug Yankee lawyer.

After 118 weeks, millions in legal fees to keep it secret, and no apparent good reason the President finally made his Birth Certificate public primarily in response to pressure from “The Donald” who’s made Mr. Obama’s citizenship a major campaign issue of late. God bless him he’s not only a natural born liar, cheat and hypocrite he’s also a natural born American citizen sure enough.

Good to know. Doesn’t change the fact that he’s a Marxist/Socialist, Islamic Jihadist sympathizer, and the worst President in US history but good to know just the same.

I am, “American by Birth and Southern by the Grace of God”
