Flip flop...flip flop...

We are all aware that not all politicians are, well, honest...but it seems that President Obama can no longer tell the truth from a lie. After seeing so many blatant lies come from this Administration, I wonder if even they can keep the stories straight. First, while running against Hillary Clinton, he accused Ms. Clinton of wanting to "force" poor Americans to buy health insurance. Now, it is something that he sees as like purchasing car insurance. Everyone should have to do it.

When will the American public wake up? This is not the only time President Obama has changed his position. The liberal left screamed bloody murder and called Bush "Hitler" anytime they opposed his views. But the moderate Americans who have had enough are now being called "teabaggers" (a highly inappropriate term) or even racist for simply disagreeing with President Obama.

Another "flip-flop" is that this administration promised to be entirely transparent. Yet, now they are refusing to do the very thing they promised. The American public deserves Senators and Representatives who READ the bills for which they are voting. It is unacceptable that they and the American public are not given time to do this.

This "flip-flopping" is nothing new. It demonstrates a pattern. During the campaign, Obama also criticized the Bush Cheney Administrations stance on energy. He failed to mention he voted FOR the administration's energy bill.

It's time to wake up. Start calling your representatives and senators. One voice can make a difference. Rally your neighbors and friends to do the same.

How's that deficit working out for you?

The Politico announced that President Obama plans to focus on the deficit in this year's State of the Union address. Another case of let's "talk" about it rather than "do" something about it. This seems to be this president's MO. How much "talk" can the American public withstand?
No one expected Obama to be fiscally conservative. After all, he is a liberal. But, even the liberal presidents that preceded him had limits. Not so for President Obama. According to the Politico, Obama has spent more money in his nine months as Bill Clinton did in his entire EIGHT years as president.

I sometimes wonder how President Obama is even able to say these types of comments with a straight face. With a 1.42 trillion (yes, I said, TRILLION) deficit, how can he even talk about being a responsible spender? He needs his own comedy show. Oh wait, he has it. It's called "The Obama Administration." Only, it's not quite funny when it's our economic future at risk.

Mr. President, please stop speaking and start doing. You promised to be transparent. Your administration has been far from that. The only transparent thing about your administration is your lack of concern for anything but your agenda.
