What the Teleprompter Will Say tonight…
More of the Same, Really
"I'm Gonna Build You a Debt Mountain!"
(TTfD) As many Americans huddle around old oil barrels now serving as their central heat, they wait patiently for more of that Obama Magic that got him elected. They await more promises, and plenty of them.
Of course, the major promises from the campaign have all been thrown away, right along with the promise that if Congress passed his Stimulus, the unemployment rate would not go above 8%. The “real” unemployment rate now is more than twice that.
The media expects a big audience for tonight’s performance as very few people have a job to wake up for anyway so why not wallow along with Obama? Plus, he’s on every channel so there are limited selections.
If you are one of the lucky few that actually can afford to anything else, keep on reading.
According to the Drudge Report, here are the highlights of the speech to be delivered by SEIU Union Organizer Obama.
"...By the time I’m finished speaking tonight, more Americans will have lost their health insurance. Millions will lose it this year. Our deficit will grow. Premiums will go up. Co-pays will go up. Patients will be denied the care they need. Small business owners will continue to drop coverage altogether. I will not walk away from these Americans. And neither should the people in this chamber..."
A reasonable person would say that if the cost of everything is just going to go up while he is speaking, he probably should just be quiet.
"...Rather than fight the same tired battles that have dominated Washington for decades, it’s time for something new. Let’s try common sense. Let’s invest in our people without leaving them a mountain of debt. Let’s meet our responsibility to the people who sent us here..."
Had he been listening and fulfilling his promise to govern from the middle and listen to the voices of us “little people,” we would have already done this. The failed Stimulus would never have been voted on, and he would have owned up to a bit of responsibility instead of simply blaming the previous administration for all his woes.
The simple point Obama — a Constitutional attorney? — misses here is that “gridlock” is built into the system to preserve the voice of everyone, not just Democrats and Union Presidents and non-repentant terrorists.
"...To do that, we have to recognize that we face more than a deficit of dollars right now. We face a deficit of trust – deep and corrosive doubts about how Washington works that have been growing for years. To close that credibility gap we must take action on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue to end the outsized influence of lobbyists; to do our work openly; and to give our people the government they deserve..."
Smarter people than I have said the people, in the end, get the government they deserve. I must agree, how else can one explain the re-elections of so many corrupt politicians? On that note, though, Americans who voted for Obama probably feel they actually deserve to see at least seome of his promises to eventually show they were based in truth. I am not among those people.
"...But we cannot stop there. It’s time to require lobbyists to disclose each contact they make on behalf of a client with my Administration or Congress. And it’s time to put strict limits on the contributions that lobbyists give to candidates for federal office. Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests – including foreign companies – to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, and worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong..."
This again was one of the President’s own promises to the American people. He has since made the White House little more than a brothel for left-wing lobbyists. It has gotten so bad a whole White House wing is now the “Barney Frank” suite.
But alas, there is more…
“…I’m also calling on Congress to continue down the path of earmark reform. You have trimmed some of this spending and embraced some meaningful change. But restoring the public trust demands more. For example, some members of Congress post some earmark requests online. Tonight, I’m calling on Congress to publish all earmark requests on a single website before there’s a vote so that the American people can see how their money is being spent…“
Earmarks and pork are the weapons of choice for Obama. He used them — in closed door meetings — to buy off Democrats to support his Health Care plan. In the end, Scott Brown was elected. In that regard, maybe he did learn a lesson.
So, it is believed, those are the words the Teleprompter of the United States will be spewing tonight. Pop up that corn and grab a soda if you can afford the associated taxes.
Tonight, America, is just another night in the Barack Obama campaign. You will be talked down to, in simple terms, because we are but children in the eyes of the great reader of teleprompters, Barry Obama.
While MSNBC is sure to find even more messianic comparisons of Obama to Jesus, I have found at least one difference…Jesus loved the little children. Obama does not think that much of us.
God Bless.
