As President Obama described his new policy on missile defense against Iran in Europe, I felt reassured when he promised that scrapping the Bush plan would actually strengthen America’s security.
Then I quickly remembered Obama also promised his health care overhaul wouldn’t add a dime to the deficit.
Yikes. Run for your life.
The moment captured for me what is the greatest mystery about our young president. Why does he continue to squander the public trust he worked so hard to build and that he will need for the many battles to come?
The central problem is his relentless push for health legislation the public doesn’t want. The harder he pushes — five TV interviews are scheduled for today — the more the country resists.
One result is a shocking trust deficit, as reflected in a recent Quinnipiac survey. By a whopping 68 – 26 percent margin, voters in Connecticut reported they don’t believe Obama when he says the health care plan will not add to the deficit. The findings mirror national ones reported in July.(continued)

Bring the boys home and go defensive til we can lose this puke.
We cannot avert our eyes from this jerk for an instant. He’s going to try to pass one abomination after another. We’ll be busy this year.

re: the public trust he worked so hard to build
Uh, I beg your pardon. My ears aren’t what they used to be and I would swear you said he had worked so hard to gain the public trust. Sorry, that’s not my take on his short tenure in public life. He hasn’t worked a day in his life. And he certainly didn’t work to gain any public trust he might have had at the beginning of this term. He just appeared out of the mist on a dark night and assumed the mantle of “The One”, complete with a fawning MSM and Democrat following.
i agree- the last time the dims ran a war was under lbj and we know what happened there...
This is the closest the left has ever been to “fundamentally changing” our steadfast constitutional republic into a pansy ass socialist state and they are getting desperate because some, make that lots, of the “sheep” aren’t falling in line.
Because he’s not all that effective of a con artist in the long run. He is looking more and more like Baghdad Bob every day.
I never trusted this POS.
