WHY IS THIS MAN WHINING? (Obama) (Video)
Powerline ^ | June 14,2012 | SCOTT JOHNSON

Posted on 06/14/2012 7:39:34 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Why is this man whining, blaming the federal budget deficit on George Bush three-and-a-half years into his term in office? He must think we’re really, really stupid.

Virtually upon entering office, Obama signed off on enormous spending programs including the monumental stimulus bill. This included a $410 billion omnibus spending bill that Bush had refused to sign before he left office involving mind-boggling expansions of federal agencies such as the EEOC. More here and here.

The putative importance of deficit spending has been a doctrinal keystone of the administration. It gave us the trillion dollar stimulus program that held unemployment below 8 percent. At least it gave us the trillion dollar stimulus program. Remember, Mr. President, you didn’t want to let a crisis go to waste?

Obama’s blaming his predecessor for his own record as his first time comes to a close is incredibly unbecoming. Listen to his tone in the video. The whining makes him unlikable. But it is not just the tone that is off.

His comments are ineffective. It’s too soon to rewrite history. We know he is wildly stretching the truth. It is almost to the point where, as Mary McCarthy said of Lillian Hellman, every word he says is false, including “and” and “the.”

His comments are mendacious as well, of course. As I say, we know he is wildly stretching the truth. It is not just his comments that are ineffective. His policies are as well, assuming their intent was to foster economic growth. On the contrary, they have retarded economic growth.

His comments are demeaning to his office. This guy is president of the United States. He is whining while wildly stretching the truth. It is unbecoming when a child behaves like this, let alone a president.

“He must think we’re really, really stupid. “

Most of his voters really are that stupid and he’s counting on them to vote for him again.

Based on ALL relevant polls of likely voters, including the most recent Rasmussen's tracking poll, Obama is not winning. He trails Romney 48 - 44. This is outside the margin of error.

Obama is now, and barring some oddity, will lose in November.

Whining is what he and his fellow liberals do best. Plus lying is always justified in the liberal mindset since their ultimate motive is to “create a Utopia here on earth”. Hence, they’re always granted an indulgence in the church of liberalism.

Because it still resonates, even with some conservatives.

> He must think we’re really, really stupid.

He is mostly correct, however to a lesser extent every day.
People are wising up.

I believe he could mop up the floor with the POS but it would leave a stain on the floor.

Bush is more gracious than I could probably ever be. I wouldn’t allow the POS to touch me.

When Obama sat down at that table to eat with the big boys, he knew what he was getting into, and he knew he was asking for the check. If it was too much for him, and it obviously was, he should have been man enough to bow out, but he wasn’t. It’s not too late Barry. You can still do the right thing, and pass the check onto people who can take care of it without whining.

The majority of the "'Murcin Peepul" ARE stupid. And the Kenyan has a lock on the stupid vote.

His comments are ineffective. It’s too soon to rewrite history.

The writer obviously hasn't seen whitehouse.gov. The Kenyan's acolytes HAVE rewritten history, to include the Messiah in former Presidential bios.

On “Fox & Friends” this morning they had a segment on this and someone had a chart showing that under Bush the deficits were about $300 billion per year, whereas under Obama they have been $1.3 trillion per year. They illustrated it by having two plates of donut holes—each symbolizing $10 billion in deficit. 30 on Bush’s plate and 130 on Obama’s plate.

“Whining” doesn’t do it justice. There’s always a nasty quality to his tone of voice that’s very unpleasant to listen to. He’s usually taunting his opponents like a schoolyard bully.

In effect, after 3-1/2 years, Obama is demonstrating that he is not up to the job of running the country.

He said he knew the problems.

He said he could fix the problems.

He has made the problems worse.

Look at any photo of obama from his past and you will see the posture of a lazy radical I am entitled SOCIALIST/COMMIE DEMOCRAT punk. Whining is how they think you acommplish things in his world.
