Obama Ratings Sink As Trustworthiness Comes Into Question
npr ^ | November 02, 2013 | Alan Greenblatt

Posted on 11/02/2013 10:23:44 AM PDT by Berlin_Freeper

Barack Obama has been subjected to as many personal attacks as any modern president.

Terrorist. Traitor. Hater of America. Secret Muslim.

Unusually for a politician, however, the one thing he hasn't been called much is a liar, except by his most adamant critics.

That's all changed now. Obama is being widely called out for having claimed, repeatedly, that under the Affordable Care Act, people who liked their health insurance plans could keep them.

Trustworthiness? When did he ever have it?

To call them slow learners is to assume that they could progress and maybe improve their intellectual skills.
No these are Rush’s full fledged “low information” voters...who will not improve over time.

Obama's critics on the right — who have always complained that he lacked the proper experience for the job — have frequently chided this president for not staying resolutely on top of his administration's business.

They howled, for instance, at his claims about being out of the loop when it came to the bungled Fast and Furious gun-swap program, or that he only found out that the IRS was targeting conservative organizations for scrutiny from news reports.

It's not just Republicans who are growing more skeptical — the situation is just weeks removed from an episode in which the country nearly went to war with Syria to preserve Obama's "credibility" about use of chemical weapons being a red line.

And it seems doubtful to many people that Obama could have been kept in the dark when it comes to tapping the phone and email accounts of foreign leaders.

THIS is from NPR... Yeah, National Public Radio... it's almost like their eyes are opening...

That leaves Obama in a terrible position — having Americans trying to decide whether he lied intentionally, or wasn't well informed enough to tell the truth.

The stupidity of the left never fails to amaze me. If he wasn't well informed enough to tell the truth doesn't anyone think that he wouldn't try to correct it? It would be gross incompetence not to. So either the man deliberately lied or he's incompetent.

Personally, I think he's both.

Average intelligence at best.
Totally intellectually overwhelmed by something as complicated as the affordable care act.
Says what he’s told to say.
Had no clue what “if you like your plan you can keep it” actually meant.

His ideology endeared him to the Democrat Party base. They voted for him because they knew he would redistribute the goodies.

Democrats are not only the party of the big cram down, i.e. statism. They’re also the party of greed and envy. Wealth redistribution in the interest of “fairness” sells very well to the Democrat base. That was the change they were hoping for.

However, I do agree with x’s point that many moderates and others voted for Obama without really understanding his ideology. His base knew what they were getting, but many others are just now waking up to the fact that Obama is an ideologue first and foremost.

He doesn’t care. He’s done most of what he wanted to do in his quest to fundamentally change this country. All that remains is to open the floodgates to all the illegals that want to come in, hell he might as well just give citizenship to the entire country of Mexico.

The media crucified Nixon and drove him out of office on the basis of a thin veneer of "crimes"......Obama and his thugs go scot-free time after time, crime after crime, as his Chi/mob rampages through govt agencies ....as if they owned them.

A corrupt bunch of Third World tinhorns grabbing everything they can get their hands on.

Uncle Barry's Billion Dollar Extortion Scheme ObamaTerror is Coming to You, Too
Townhall.com ^ | October 22, 2013 | John Ransom / FR Posted by Kaslin

.......who believes that Barack Obama and his administration don’t use their regulatory power to punish enemies and reward their friends? .

Obama’s administration is not much different than other in this regard, except varying in the intensity of their pursuit and the volume of regulations they have at their disposal.

Obama has taken the infamous "spoils system" to new extremes, extremes that allow them to criminalize any behavior they wish. And through selective prosecutions (by an AG who works for the Chi/mob), they punish enemies and warn friends.

The Party that campaigned “My body, my Choice” has turned over the regulatory power over everyone’s body to the IRS, and now shares, under (1) Obamcare, (2) Dodd-Frank, (3) Sarbanes-Oxley, (4) the Clean Air Act, (5) the Community Reinvestment Act, and, (6) the Patriot Act, along with others, much of the punitive power that the Oprichniki had under Ivan the Terrible, if just a bit less terrible.

.... An Obama critic has been under relentless attack under threat of civil and criminal penalties for loans made and then sold to the federal government under the government’s sub-prime lending schemes ......also known as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. (more on the Obama land grab below). --snip--

FOURTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS Behind The Real Size of the Bailout; A guide to the abbreviations, acronyms, and obscure programs that make up the $14 trillion federal bailout of Wall Street
SOURCE motherjones.com
Mon Dec. 21, 2009 12:23 PM PST

The price tag for the Wall Street bailout is often put at $700 billion—the size of the Troubled Assets Relief Program. But TARP is just the best known program in an array of more than 30 overseen by Treasury Department and Federal Reserve that have paid out or put aside money to bail out financial firms and inject money into the markets.

To get a sense of the size of the real $14 trillion bailout, see our chart at web site. Below, a guide to the pieces of the puzzle:

Treasury Department bailout programs
Remember Obama had tight control of Treasury; Obama calculatedly placed his then-COS Rahm Emanuel in a dual role.......in the WH and at Treasury. Obama had a stranglehold on Treasury via COS Rahm Emanuel's dual role

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE Soon as they occupied the WH, Obama and the Chi/cons (a) took control of the US Census; (b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (the IRS). Read on.

==========================================

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials. Reported by WSJ / 05/31/09

OBAMA'S LAND GRAB--- Obama says it’s time to ‘turn the page’ on Fannie and Freddie MarketWatch ^ | 7/24/13 | MarketWatch / FR Posted by illiac

Obama's July speech on the U.S. economy, spelled out the beginning of the end for federally controlled mortgage buyers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. “We’ll work with both parties to turn the page on Fannie and Freddie, and build a housing finance system that’s rock-solid for future generations,” Obama said, according to a copy of his prepared remarks.

True, both the House and the Senate are working on legislation to get rid of the giants, which were took under control by the federal government in 2008.

The House Financial Services Committee approved a bill on Tuesday that would get rid of the two firms in five years, to be replaced by a National Mortgage Market Utility to help securitize mortgages.(Excerpt) Read more at blogs.marketwatch.com ...

WHAT OBAMA OMMITTED FROM HIS SPEECH The Wall Street Journal on page A15 carried an article entitled “Treasury’s Fannie Mae Heist”.

Here is the first paragraph: “The Federal govt is seizing the substantial profits of the govt-chartered mortgage firms, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, taking for itself the property and potential gains of private investors the govt induced to help prop up these companies. This conduct is intolerable.” A scathing article follows.
