Barack Obama, King of Bizarro World
Barack Obama is truly king of Bizarro World. Obama does the opposite of everything he claims to be doing, and everyone thinks it’s just dandy.
He rants about corporate jets and wasting tax dollars, then takes 500 people to Europe. Anyone know if they’re flying coach?
He rants about the $1 trillion deficit he “inherited,” then promptly spends that much in one signing ceremony. Then for good measure, sends a budget proposal to Congress that is many times worse.
In a related note, he promises the end of the era of “borrow and spend,” then proposes massive deficit budgets while his Secretary of State is begging China to finance it by buying more of our debt.
He promises an end to Iraq as soon as he takes office, then swears we’ll be out in almost a year and a half. Except for the 50,000 that will stay in a “non-combat” role. That should lend confidence to those troops, who will obviously be immune to IEDs, mortar rounds, and snipers’ bullets. Not to mention how well equipped they’ll be after he cuts the defense budget.
He claims he’s not for big government, but then proposes the federal government takeover of every aspect of life, from health to electricity to education to jobs.
He claims he’s not interested in running private companies, then he tells them what they’re allowed to pay their employees and even fires a CEO without notice to the shareholders or even Congress. And now there is legislation to allow tax cheat Tim to decide the pay and compensation of every employee of every company that has ANY federal money at all. Good thing Obama doesn’t want to run companies, huh? He’ll veto that legislation, right?
He claims to have the strictest ethics of any administration, but half his nominees have failed to pay their taxes or have other ethical or legal issues. And he just pushes them on through.
Obama promised no lobbyists in his administration, then promptly hired lobbyist after lobbyist.
It must be awfully nice to literally say one thing and then do the exact opposite the second you leave the microphone.
Maybe it’s Obama’s teleprompter. Obama actually means to do these things, but the teleprompter is making him say the opposite?
The official White House motto should be, “I’ll say what I want you to hear, do whatever I want instead, and you’ll bend over and enjoy it.”
Thanks to his lapdogs in the media and the sheep who continue to deny factual reality, unfortunately, Comrade Obama is mostly right.
