Bill Shakespeare’s timeless observation from Hamlet, way back in 1602 applies as much today as it did 400 years ago.
When you’ve surrounded yourself with yes men, yes women and sycophants, you rarely here the word “no.” It’s fairly clear, based on his disastrous administration to date, that no one has the testicular fortitude to stand up to him and say something like, “Uh, Mr. president, excuse me, but is the destruction of our economy REALLY what you want to be known for?”
So, when taken to task a few days ago in a surprisingly poorly prepped (Typically, Obama’s public appearances are scripted to the “n’th” degree, so people like the woman in this article aren’t allowed within 5 miles of The One, because once you take this clown off the teleprompter, it’s all over.
Obama’s 17-minute, 2,500-word response to woman’s claim of being ‘over-taxed’
By Anne E. Kornblut
CHARLOTTE – Even by President Obama’s loquacious standards, an answer he gave here on health care Friday was a doozy.
Toward the end of a question-and-answer session with workers at an advanced battery technology manufacturer, a woman named Doris stood to ask the president whether it was a “wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care” package.
“We are over-taxed as it is,” Doris said bluntly.
Obama started out feisty. “Well, let’s talk about that, because this is an area where there’s been just a whole lot of misinformation, and I’m going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have,” the president said.
He then spent the next 17 minutes and 12 seconds lulling the crowd into a daze. His discursive answer – more than 2,500 words long — wandered from topic to topic, including commentary on the deficit, pay-as-you-go rules passed by Congress, Congressional Budget Office reports on Medicare waste, COBRA coverage, the Recovery Act and Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (he referred to this last item by its inside-the-Beltway name, “F-Map”). He talked about the notion of eliminating foreign aid (not worth it, he said). He invoked Warren Buffett, earmarks and the payroll tax that funds Medicare (referring to it, in fluent Washington lingo, as “FICA”).
Always fond of lists, Obama ticked off his approach to health care — twice. “Number one is that we are the only — we have been, up until last week, the only advanced country that allows 50 million of its citizens to not have any health insurance,” he said.
The problem for Obama, of course, is that he’s a total liar, not to be believed.
In areas as far ranging as his opposition to the wildly successful surge in Iraq, to his fantasy 8% unemployment ceiling if only the porkulous would be passed, to his complete lies about lobbyists in his administration to his lies about the taxes of those of us making less than $250,000 to his lies about this monumental waste of trillions on health care (Notice how the number of those “uninsured” seems to keep climbing? Why, back in the day, it used to be 35 million. Now, all of a sudden, he’s lying about it by saying the number is 50 million.)
The reason his lying is at issue is because one of the things liars do when they attempt to explain, is they talk… and they talk… and they talk…
Over the years, how many times have we heard that if you can’t “dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.”
HCR/SL (Health Care Reform/Student Loans) is a socialist, wealth redistribution garbage heap. It is a crap pile of horrific proportion. Obama knows this, and evidence that he knows it is in this term-paper response to a simple and true observation by a woman named Doris, who accurately proclaimed that “We are over-taxed as it is.”
Back in college, studying communism, it became clear that one of that system’s many fundamental flaws was a failure to take into account human nature.
In a totalitarian society of the variety Obama is implementing, again we see that fundamental flaw overlooked.
Human nature typically is that when one works the hardest, one should receive the most in return for that work. It is that X Factor as to why some of us strive towards excellence.
Under the Obama regime, effort is not rewarded. Everyone who isn’t “rich” is a victim of those who are, and those who are somehow become responsible, directly, through income redistribution, for those who are not.
I am reaonably well off. But I certainly haven’t always been so. As a product of the welfare state, I used the military to pay for my education, and I have managed rather well for the past several years consulting on business and political projects that have become righter than they are wrong.
So, even in a down economy like this, the checks keep coming.
I have roughed out some plans for expansion of my business, since at some point, I want to not be working out of a home office.
But lately, I’ve been asking myself: Why should I? Why should I take the risk? Why should I bust my ass to fatten the socialist wallet?
That’s the question I would love to put, directly, to the empty suited, anti-American, racist bigot currently occupying the White House.
I bet I’d get a hell of a lot more than 2500 words out of that clown now.
