This guy really is President Preposterous, Captain Contradictory, Lord of the Lemmings, the Prince of Projection, the Duke of Double Talk, the leader of the Cult of the Credulous, President Say Anything as Hugh Hewitt has termed him, and then some.
Here is some more of the absurd ranting of the Messiah of Misinformation in this particular sermon:
Look, something you got to understand — for those who don't believe in government, those who don't believe that we have obligations to each other, it's a lot easier task. If you can gum up the works, if you make things broken, if the Senate doesn't get anything done, well, that's consistent with their philosophy. It's a whole lot easier to say no to everything. It's a whole lot easier to blame somebody else. That politics that feeds on peoples' insecurities, especially during tough political times — that's the easiest kind of politics. There's a long, storied history of that kind of politics.“If you can gum up the works, if you make things broken…,” I wonder if the Republicans had more success with this approach in late August and early September when everybody in Washington “gets all wee-wee’d up.” I will agree though in part. RINO’s do assist in “making things broken.”
“It’s a whole lot easier to blame somebody else.” This is some unbelievable hypocrisy here. The absurdity of this statement given the constant drumbeat of “the last eight years” and “we inherited” is absolutely mind-boggling. Let’s face it, Barack Obama is more at ease with the blame game than ACORN is with teenage prostitution. And to make matters even more interesting, he makes this point at the very same time that he is doing what? You guessed it, blaming somebody.
With this progressive sob-story, Obama is blaming those terribly unfeeling laissez-faire worshipping Republicans for their ability to make progress so difficult, because they have chosen a carefree, selfish, and backwards philosophy that allows them to achieve success by simply “saying no” and “blaming somebody else.”
“…if the Senate doesn't get anything done…” This statement is laughable as this administration has unfortunately gotten a lot done. Byron York points this out in his Washington Examiner blog, and in his piece he quotes Obama as saying at a DNC fundraiser last October: “If we stopped today, this legislative session would have been one of the most productive in a generation."
Of course as York points out “when you hear the president and Democrats in Congress complain about not being able to get anything done, or about Washington being broken, they're talking about one thing: their inability to pass a national health care reform bill.”
“That politics that feeds on peoples' insecurities, especially during tough political times — that's the easiest kind of politics” Come again? Isn’t your chief of staff the guy that said “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste?” The hypocrisy here again is absolutely astounding.
He is spot on though in assuming that much of the populace would be feeling a bit insecure right now. Having someone in the White House pushing big government as hard as he has and making statements like these is going to make many Americans a little nervous:
“They cling to guns or religion…,” “electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket,” “when you spread the wealth it’s good for everybody,” “I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer universal health-care plan,”“Even if I want to take them away, I don’t have the votes in Congress,’’ “We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded,” “it [U.S. Constitution] also reflected the fundamental flaw of this country that continues to this day,”…
“…for those who don't believe in government…” Wait, didn’t you yourself say Mr. President, that “It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems?” And didn’t the esteemed congressman from Massachusetts – a member of your party -- Mr. Barney Frank ask us “whoever told [us] to trust the government?” So to the extent that Republicans in Washington and Americans in general don’t “trust the government,” I think you can understand why.
Amazing, isn’t it, the amount of nonsense this man can spout in a very small amount of time.
A few of my other favorites from this particular Obama lecture included his pronouncement that Michael and he “don't have time for that nonsense”; his lament that “We're just accustomed to falsehoods and exaggerations and slash-and-burn politics”; and I especially like his line that “people are fed up because it's not a game. It's not a game.”
What was Joe Biden’s comment about the stimulus? Oh yeah, right, he told Harry Smith “It was designed to have two stages to it,” and “The job creating portions are really loaded at the second half here…” Gee, with an election coming up in November that sounds an awful lot like a “game” to me. But then I’m just one of those backwards thinking free-market types.
“Don’t tell me words don’t matter,” declared then candidate Obama at the Democratic Party of Wisconsin’s Founders Day Gala back in February of 2008.
Well I would agree with the President there, but not because I’m taking his word for it.
