Remember the State of the Union address a few days ago? Here’s a quote:
“understand — understand if we don’t take meaningful steps to rein in our debt, it could damage our markets, increase the cost of borrowing, and jeopardize our recovery — all of which would have an even worse effect on our job growth and family incomes”
Sounds good right? It should, because it’s true. What Americans should know by now is that Barack Hussein Obama is a pro at telling us what we want to hear and then audaciously doing the opposite, right in our faces. This is why I am not surprised that the White House is proposing a $3.8 trillion budget, this is after a record-breaking $1.6 trillion deficit in the current fiscal year. His proposed “spending freeze” is supposed to save $250 billion over the next decade. Does anyone see a problem with these numbers?
The State of the Union speech showed that the president was willing to change his rhetoric in order to help the Democrats turn the tide on public sentiment, but that is all that he changed. The things he said: just words. His deeds, on the other hand, will now be more underhanded, more behind-the-scenes, and more deceitful than last year… a real feat.
Despite what the president told us during that silly speech, the relentless march towards the Leftist Super-State is not letting up. We can expect most of the supposed compromises he said he was willing to consider off the table. Nuclear power? Don’t bet on it. Offshore drilling? In your dreams. True recovery? Doubtful. Which brings me to another quote from the address:
“The devastation remains.”
Unfortunately, he is right and the earliest that we can expect this to change is November 8th, 2011.

I think it’s funny how he claimed that he cut 20 billion out of the new budget, yet this new budget is 250 billion dollars larger than last years budget. How does he say this stuff and keep a straight face?
One big problem is that all the powers that be in Washington and all the economists in Washington follow Keynesian economic policies which is what has caused the “boom bust” cycle in the first place. Using that economic policy they have totally ruined our country’s economy and then tries to blame capitalism and the free market for their own interference. You would think after 97 years someone in Washington would get a clue.
I also checked out some of the numbers in the proposed budget. It seems that expected revenues are exceeding high from many things that yet don’t exist such as health care and cap and trade. The projected deficit will be much higher than Obama is telling us—-he lies!
I’m with Ron on this one. Tax increases equals less revenue. I wonder how the media will spin that, or will they even report it?
yay more taxes!
We are getting taxed to death, and they lie and laugh about it. God Help America.
Actually, the next “change” cames in November 2010. Oh, and in case anyone doesn’t know it yet, the Bush tax cuts expire this year. Guess what happens when a tax cut expires? Yeah … I know … he promised not to raise taxes on families making $250,000 or less. But Zero is, after all, a backdoor man.
Which makes all the sense in the world: Since Michelle does have a really big backdoor, you kinda have to expect that he’s a backdoor man.
Not a good visual man.
they are talking about keeping the tax cuts on folks making under $250,000. However, it is a Dem promise, and we all know how well they work out. Also, since they are taxing the folks that create jobs, how many “jobs lost or exported” will those tax increases cause?
You do know how they re-distribute the wealth, right?
A single parent of two kids who makes only $17,000 a year pays no federal income tax through their paycheck yet receives over $7000 in refund from the federal government. That same parent would also qualify for food stamps and Medicaid for the kids.
And, if they vote, will be a perpetual Democrat, so as to never lose those benefits. That’s the beauty of government dependency. It guarantee’s a dependent/enslaved voting bloc.
We should start paying attention to the community-organizer-in-chief’s timing… he comes out saying he’ll be fiscally responsible right before he proposes a wallet-busting budget. Whenever he speaks, it is to make people believe that he is doing something rational, right before he does something ridiculous. I think we can set our watches by this. He says he will work on jobs while the stock market is in a free-fall and while he proposes the faux-populist bank taxation/”break-up” scheme… didn’t he just ask the banks for help a few months ago with the credit market? Now he’s slapping their hands with fees that will get passed down to us bank customers? Also, the jobs numbers that just came out look bad too, I think he knew about this before his SOTU address. The rhetoric in his speeches foreshadows what he will do in reality… i.e. his rhetoric is used to distort what he truly plans on doing.
