Obama: still saying one thing while doing the opposite

By: Dan Spencer (Diary)  |  April 25th, 2009 at 12:10 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

There President Obama goes yet again — saying one thing while doing the opposite.

After prodding by the White House, Congressional Democrats near a budget deal so Obama can have his spend too much, tax too much, borrow too much budget in place within his first 100 days.

President Obama’s budget includes a $1.75 trillion deficit so he can spend nearly $4 trillion in fiscal year 2010. The Congressional Budget Office predicts will Obama’s budget result in deficits of $9.3 trillion over ten years — $2.3 trillion more than the deficit estimated by the White House. And then, in this week’s Obama propaganda video, he has the audacity to call for fiscal discipline. Is he serious?

“We cannot sustain deficits that mortgage our children’s future, nor tolerate wasteful inefficiency.”

Too bad Obama doesn’t practice what he preaches.

      I am fine, thank you.

          Don’t you just love how they slink around to gloat? ;-)

    One simply has to remember that he ‘preaches’ in the same manner as the Reverend Wright, and even the most crystal clear sounding comment requires later clarification.
    So, just like God D%$N America” didn’t mean a request for the Lord Almighty to condemn the USA to eternal hellfire, ?We cannot sustain deficits that mortgage our children?s future, nor tolerate wasteful inefficiency.? doesn’t mean that putting trillions of dollars in debt on our Great Grandchildren isn’t perfectly sustainable!
    You just have to understand Obama-speak.

    This is why Dear Leader ZerO is constantly ona perpetual campaign tour. To repeat his message until it becomes the accepted truth.

      He has to keep the plates of distraction spinning constantly.

      If he stops the Barnum and Bailey act for very long, even some of his brain dead followers may begin to question his true motives.

      Remember that truth and light are anathema to a con artist, dear leader is the best BS artist I have seen in my lifetime.(Better than Slick William )

    This is all part of Obama’s plan. Spend all sorts of money and continue to preach about sustain deficits. Then when he raises taxes on everyone making over $40k a year to 50% it shouldn’t come as any surprise to us.

    He’s using brainwashing techniques. Spend, spend, spend, give the losers what they want (socialized healthcare, free college education, welfare to the rats, etc…) all while drilling into people how we can’t sustain the deficits, then introduce the high tax rates. By doing it this way, he’s is going to convince his sheep that they need and want to pay more takes.

      The real objective here is to establish a voting majority that pays no taxes so that majority can confiscate the wealth of the minority. Wait until the nice man from ACORN comes over to your house and tells you how many families are moving in with you.

  • djemi

    I mean isn’t that the percentage of the economy that is consumer spending. And as all taxes come from the economy anyway. What can we do? Do we stop spending? No, but we only buy what we truely need, we pay down personal debt because we all know that it is We The People that are going to get us all out of this economic mess the dems are making.

  • johnt

    those deficits can’t be sustained, quite right. So the cape and tights of a deficit hawk will adorn the gorgeous body of The O and “SHAZAAM”, he will tax the s- – - out of us and our children,[ then continue the deficit spending, then etc.]
    But clinteastwood, of late above, will love it. Stomp on us mighty O, ruin and impoverish us, right clint, though as usual a liberal dope didn’t have a sensible answer to the issue raised.

    A politician is lying what else is new. But when the media does not call the lie it can become the truth.

    The MSM is a complete fraud. I am asking all Republicans and conservatives that you should debate and berate the MSM every chance you get. What I mean by this is if you go on Hardball call Matthews a complete fraud and an idiot, who cares he hates you anyway.

    Everyone should ckeck out the “torture memo” debate between Nora Odonnell and Dick Cheney’s daughter, AWESOME (connect at Weekly Standard Blog).

    The only thing I would change if I was on TV would be to add words like “Nora cannot believe you are this ignorant…this naive..this left wing”

    I would call them on their bias make them fight back. Look what happened when an average guy at one of the Tea Parties challenged and called out that CNN reporter, I think she still is on holidays.

    To repeat; HEY REPUBLICANS THE MSM HATES YOU FIGHT BACK AND TREAT THEM ACCORDINGLY!!!

    Sarah writing today in the New York Post:

    17. SARAH PALIN ON: “I WON” AND THE DEATH OF BIPARTISANSHIP

    “Obama soared to victory on the hopeful promise of a new era of bipartisanship. During his inaugural address he even promised an ‘end to the petty grievances and false promises, the recriminations and worn-out dogmas, that for far too long have strangled our politics.’

    “Too bad it took all of three days for the promise to ring hollow.

    “Start with Obama’s big meeting with top congressional leaders on his signature legislation — the stimulus — on the Friday after his inauguration. Listening to Republican concerns about overspending was a nice gesture — until he shut down any hopes of real dialogue by crassly telling Republican leaders: ‘I won.’ Even the White House’s leaking of the comment was a slap at the Republican leadership, who’d expected Obama to adhere to the custom of keeping private meetings with congressional leadership, well, private.

    “It’s only gone downhill from there. The stimulus included zero Republican recommendations, and failed to get a single House Republican vote.

    “It’s not just the tactic of using Republicans for bipartisan photo-ops, and then cutting them loose before partisan decisions, that irks Obama’s opponents. The new president wasted no time rushing forward with policies and legislation guaranteed to drive Republicans nuts. The first bill he signed into law was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act — a partisan hot-button that drew all of eight Republican supporters in the entire Congress. Then there was the swift reversal of Bush policies on abortion and embryonic-stem-cell research — issues dear to the Republican base.

    “And when Obama and the Democrats in Congress took up SCHIP — the children’s health-insurance bill that Republicans say vastly expands government’s role in health care — they had an easy chance for real bipartisanship. After all, the bill had been hashed out in the previous Congress, and a bipartisan accord was reached before President Bush responded with a veto. Did the Obama team push for the compromise version in the 111th Congress? Nope. They went back to the drawing board, ramming through the Democrats’ dream version.

    “Of course, the lack of bipartisanship isn’t limited to Capitol Hill. Obama has taken gratuitous swipes at the Republicans who recently decamped Washington, blaming President Bush for everything from the economy and the war to the lack of sufficient puppies and rainbows. And who could forget the Rush Limbaugh flap — in which Obama’s top advisers, including chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, orchestrated a public relations campaign meant to undermine the Republican National Committee chairman, Michael Steele, by framing talk-radio personality Limbaugh as the real head of the Republican Party.

    “For now, Obama’s back-pedal on the bipartisanship promise just makes him look insincere. But the real consequences of the mistake will be felt soon enough. As Presidents Bush and Clinton could tell him, congressional majorities do change — and at some point, Obama will need Republicans on his side. He’d be smart to spend his second 100 days making up for the serious snubs of his first.”

      Mr. Obama is a Clinton, Soros puppet. He has never uttered an original thought without a teleprompter. He is unable to make a decision on his own which shows that he is incapable of leading because he has no idea what to do. He didn’t vote present over 100 times in his own state because he knew how to vote, but he voted present because to vote otherwise would require him to make a decision which apparently he is incapable of doing. Not only is he not a leader , but he is a front man for someone else. Maybe Bill Clinton. Since we have almost the entire Clinton staff and operatives in position the only one missing is Bill. Very interesting.
