Lies, lies and damned lies

Barack Obama, brain, lies, arrogance, teleprompter

Washington - "That wasn't me," President Barack Obama said on his 100th day in office, disclaiming responsibility for the huge budget deficit waiting for him on Day One. It actually was him - and the other Democrats controlling Congress the previous two years - who shaped a budget so out of balance. And as a presidential candidate and president-elect, he backed the twilight Bush-era stimulus plan that made the deficit deeper, all before he took over and promoted spending plans that have made it much deeper still.

Obama met citizens at an Arnold, Mo., high school Wednesday in advance of his prime-time news conference. Both forums were a platform to review his progress at the 100-day mark and look ahead. At various times, he brought an air of certainty to ambitions that are far from cast in stone.

His assertion that his proposed budget "will cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term" is an eyeball-roller among many economists, given the uncharted terrain of trillion-dollar deficits and economic calamity that the government is negotiating. He promised vast savings from increased spending on preventive health care in the face of doubts that such an effort, however laudable it might be for public welfare, can pay for itself, let alone yield huge savings. There's much more!

Well, it has been 100 days since this charlatan took the oath and he has damned near driven this nation into the ditch in every conceivable way possible and he's not done by half. We still have one thousand, three hundred and sixty one days left. Most of us are in a state of shock at just much damage he's been able to do and even more disturbing - how quickly and with such ease. The real ramifications and long term effects of his incompetency won't be felt for a few months and when they are - those who voted for this moron are going to rue that day greatly. I'm so disgusted with him, his ideas, his ideology and his utter lack of honesty that I can no longer bear to hear his voice or even watch him in silence. To do either only reminds me of how stupid people can be, how difficult things are going to be and how repulsive a creature he is. His repugnance is exceeded only by the disdain his handlers have for this nation, its people and its value to humanity.
