Sorry for the mixed metaphor, but let me explain. As I’ve been thinking about the actions of the Obama administration in the short time since January, I have been struck by the fact that so many people, even in the light of growing evidence, seem to really want to give Obama the benefit of the doubt. They listen to what he says…but totally ignore his actions, associations and past history. Additionally, they accuse anyone who raises objections to policy or actions by the administration of being racists or conspiracy nuts. I’m not talking about politicians or political operatives, but rank and file citizens who believe what they hear Obama saying in his on-going campaign appearances in the media.
President Obama continues to “quack” out great-sounding populist drivel for the consumption of the weak minded, but his rhetoric does not stand up against even the most basic scrutiny. The examples are too numerous to list in this format, but I will mention just a few for effect.
Obama quack: "I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future. Period."
Fact: According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) the House bill, which President Obama is endorsing, will raise the deficit by $220 Billion over the next 10 years.
Obama quack: "The reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally."
Fact: While the bill does not specifically spell out that illegal aliens are covered, there is no language to prohibit it, and any attempt to place such language into the bill has been soundly defeated by the President. And, to get past the issue all together, Obama wants to just go ahead and legalize the illegals, a plan that has been roundly rejected by a majority of Americans in the past.
Obama quack: "I pledge to you that under my plan, no one making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not income tax, not capital gains taxes, not any kind of tax,"
Fact: While President Obama’s policies will continue to raise the deficit to $9 trillion by 2019, he continues to say that taxes won’t be raised…how can that be? Well, as he did on CBS’s “Face the Nation” this past weekend, he simply chooses to call increases in revenue taken from the public and corporations by other names. Even former Clinton operative, George Stephanopoulos, insisted that what President Obama was raising taxes, regardless of what he calls it.
Obama quack: “My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in Government.”
Fact: All the while appointing a whole group of un-confirmed czars and trying to push the health care bill through Congress before anyone had a chance to read it.
And it goes on and on …It’s not only what someone says, it’s more important what they do. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said “What you do speaks so loudly that I cannot hear what you say.” So, while Mr. Obama wants us all to listen to his words, he wants us to ignore his actions, past and present. Mr. Obama has been committed through out his life to communist “reform.” He surrounded himself with other, like minded individuals who have preached the evils of America and its system of economy and government.
For anyone who has been paying attention to his past and present deeds, none of his actions since he took office have been surprising. You see, to be a duck, you not only have to quack, but also look and walk like a duck. Watch what he does…pay attention to what he has said in the past. To me, President Obama is the big communist camel who is forcing his nose under the tent.
