Yes we have a verbal magician in the White House, a linguistic acrobat. Another politician pulling BS out of the hat he’s Barack Obama – The Great Illusionist and sadly he’s here for a four-year engagement. I’ve been pointing this out for quite a while now, but let’s review.
As I’ve pointed out before Obama said his stimulus plan “will create or save” three million jobs, this number has been adjusted down with every speech from the first stated six million to today’s three million. But the trick in what he says it not just the adjusting down of the expectation but also the injection of the word “save” or “preserve” this is the magic word as it is extremely difficult to calculate just how many jobs have actually been saved, so Obama or his people can make any claim they want and prove nothing.
Obama repeatedly talks about the debt he “inherited”, Obama says this over and over and over, ad nauseum. This is an old advertising trick; if you say something enough repeatedly people will remember it. Think about that the next time you hear a commercial and they repeat the phone number 4 or 5 times, you’ll remember it. So this is Obama trick he repeats that the debt was there when he arrived, but he conveniently forgets to point out the nearly $800 billion porkulus package, $75 billion mortgage bailout, $200 billion Fannie May/Freddie Mac prop up and a bunch more, this is debt he stacked on top of the debt he did inherit, which was nothing compared to what he created.
Obama inherited about a $400 billion dollar debt from Bush, Obama has been on office 5 weeks and it’s now $1.5 TRILLION debt … that’s Trillion with a “T”! In 5 weeks he’s ran up a $1,100,000,000,000.00 … 5 WEEKS! That’s a trick.
Obama also babbles on about “the worse economic crisis since the great depression” well it’s not. This is primarily designed to not blame one of his hero’s Jimmy Carter who fathered the recession of the late 1970′s, early 1980′s, it is also to set the bar as a barometer to compare his poor economy too and if it gets worse than Carter and it looks like it will, he can stay on “the worse economic crisis since the great depression” message. Basically he is once again trying to cover his ass at the expense of the truth.
During the campaign Obama talked about transparency, about how all bills would be posted online for 5 days, which was reduced to 2 days after the election and in reality was ZERO days after he took office. But don’t worry, Obama keeps pumping the word “transparency” over and over again and he thinks that if he says it enough you’ll believe it. So far I haven’t seen any transparency, so it must be so transparent that it’s well … transparent, much like Obama is himself. However, what I have seen is shell game and you can’t find the pea.
Today he has pulled another hat trick with his “Fiscal Responsibility Summit” Obama said …
Today I hope that all of you will start talking with each other and exchanging ideas. I want you to question each other, challenge each other, question me and my teams, challenge us, and work together not just to identify problems, but to identify solutions. That’s the purpose of the breakout sessions that are starting right now. I know that each of you bring a wealth of experience and expertise on a broad range of topics. I appreciate your willingness to participate in these sessions. I expect that this process will be engaging and productive, and I look forward to hearing the results when you report back later this afternoon.
Later this afternoon? He said this around noon, is he serious? It doesn’t take a genius to know you can’t fix the federal budget in 3 hours, but somehow Obama thinks you can? Somehow, someway in three hours, 130 people were going to solve all the countries economic whoa’s in three hours. Do you believe that? Clearly the guy has no concept of how group dynamics work. Tell me, please somebody tell me when has government ever done anything in three hours? Better yet completed it effectively, not that government has ever done anything effectively at all. To top that off the very people that are destroying the economy are the ones in charge of fixing it, this is nothing more than a PR stunt to give the mainstream media and the Obamabots something to fawn over. Perhaps the lib’s and MSM is buying it, but the market isn’t as it took another dump today of 250 point down on the Dow. He passed the largest most fiscal irresponsible bill in history and then holds a Fiscal Responsibility Summit? Surely this is a joke.
Now he’s talking about PAYGO (Pay As You Go) like he invented it. Sure it easy to talk about PAYGO after you runs up the large debt in the least amount of time in world history. (History reminder, Pelosi said the congress was going to use PAYGO in 2006 .. didn’t happen.) I’m sorry, I can’t help but find this sad and hilarious at the same time, in 3 hours and Obama and his little groups are going to fix the largest economy in the world lickity-split? Please, pathetic.
It might be worth noting that the president of fiscal responsibility still has unpaid bills from his campaign, more in that at here.
This guy is a one trick pony, and hopefully a one term President, he has no idea what he is doing and is running around the country trying to look Presidential. He’s grasping at straws and grabbing at the air, he is in my opinion completely clueless. He talks and talks and never says anything, he leaves more back doors open than Al Capone, another Chicago thug. Remember it was Obama who said in the campaign … “just words”, just speeches” and that’s exactly what he says now “just words” and “just speeches” with little to no value at all. As Abraham Lincoln said, Obama’s hero … “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” I’m not fooled, are you?
UPDATE: How did I forget this, Obama babbled about being Mr. Tough Guy on pork and earmarks during the campaign. Obama said and I quote “And when I’m president, I will go line by line to make sure that we are not spending money unwisely.” Well you know how much pork was in the Porkulus Package and now I find there is over 9000 earmarks in the budget plan? Here is hillstfr on Twitter, they are compiling as they find them … take some duct tape.
He managed to fool over 60 million people in 2008, I don’t think he’ll be so convincing in 2012.
