“He betrayed us! He played on our fears!”
—Al Gore
Al screamed this in 2007. Little did he know the lie he told about President Bush would apply truthfully to the newly elected President, Barack Obama.
Obama parroted Gore’s fibs about Bush during the presidential campaign. Then he turned right around and used fear of financial “catastrophe” to scare Congress into passing unread pork laden social re-engineering legislation. His legacy could be the debt sentence of our progeny for the next 100 years.
All hope for common sense has vanished.
You can take a Chicago politician out of the South Side, but you can’t take the South Side out of this president.
Our president is so uninterested or unable to create a well thought out plan that he’s delegated the chore to the complete package of incompetence, Nancy “I want a jet NOW” Pelosi.  
Those who think Barack will buy homes and cars for them will have to do with the pittance of an extra $13 a week this year lowered to $8 next. After inflation from cap and trade, universal health care, higher gas taxes, higher corporate and capital gains taxes and billions sunk into unproven energy sources, that trifle of small change will be eaten up and then some.
One would assume that before redistributing an asset, one would want to maintain it first.
Amateur Hour at the White House
President Obama is not taking care of business.
With plenty of lead time and admittedly superb cooperation from the outgoing Bush Administration, he’s failed to come up with a working cabinet, especially where it’s needed.
Tax incompetent and new Treasury Secretary, Tim Geithner appears to be a one man show as he struggles to solve the nation’s financial problems by himself. Mr. President, get Timmy some help, stat! 
Every recession has its sliver lining
Even liberals know that you can’t redistribute invisible wealth. Lefties are coming out of their stunned silence uttering sudden disdain for the “One.”
Obama is better off being criticized by Rush.  At least Limbaugh’s out front and rants for the benefit of the country. At last notice, Rush isn’t running for office.
When James Carville said he didn’t want President Bush to succeed on Sept. 11th, 2001, just before the attacks on this country, he showed what a Cajun chicken he was by begging the press not to report it.  His intention was to get control back by harming the country.
It’s not about power Mr. President, it’s about doing the job the people elected you to do.
