Obama’s Fake Outrage, Fake Tirelessness, Fake Pay Cut…
The National Review ^ | Tuesday, May 20, 2014 | Jim Geraghty

Tuesday’s Morning Jolt:

Obama’s Fake Outrage, Fake Tirelessness, Fake Pay Cut…

The Obama administration is dangerously depleting our nation’s reserves of speech-writing clichés.

For example, when some terrible mess blows up on the president’s watch, what does he say? Come on. You know it.

No one is madder than him.

After White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough assured the public, “nobody is more outraged about this problem right now” than President Obama – an outrage that has yet to be expressed in anything more than pro forma public statements – Reid Epstein decided to look up how often the president assured all of us he was angry – or perhaps more angry than anyone else! — about failures of his administration or other setbacks.

It’s quite a list:

October 2013: “Nobody’s madder than me about the fact that the website isn’t working as well as it should.”

The IRS scandal, May 2013: “Americans are right to be angry about it, and I am angry about it.”

April 2012, the Secret Service prostitution scandal: “If it turns out that some of the allegations that have been made in the press are confirmed, then of course I’ll be angry.”

May 2010, the BP oil spill: “And I know that doesn’t lessen the enormous sense of anger and frustration felt by people on the Gulf and so many Americans. Every day I see this leak continue I am angry and frustrated as well.”

March 2009, the AIG bonuses guaranteed in TARP: “I don’t want to quell anger,” he said. “I think people are right to be angry. I’m angry.”

He forgot one, though, when Obama was “apoplectic”:

President Barack Obama is “apoplectic” about lavish spending at the GSA, one of his top advisers said Sunday.

There are a multitude of words, phrases and excuses that are wearing threadbare thin. Unexpected, Get to the bottom of this, I found out when you all did, and so on. Basically, anything out of that Muslim’s mouth.

I feel like retasking this new liberal meme “Check your privilege” crap and saying “Check your Lies” to any liberal I come across.

Just end any argument, debate or discussion right there like this ‘privilege’ thing is intended to do. Just don’t even give them the satisfaction of repeating back what they memorized and did not even understand. Sheesh.

Fake heterosexuality.

I believe he’s leaned the other way for a long time. Was he a member of rev Jeremiah Wight’s down under club? He had a transexual nanny. That would concern me.

confirm that Obama did, in fact, write checks to the Treasury.

When dealing with this pathological liar, this question would need to be followed up with ... did he tear up the checks after he wrote them? Did he stop payment on them? Did he threaten the Treasury Secretary with grave consequences if he actually deposited the checks? Did he actually sign the checks? In other words, nothing this man says can be believed.

Just enough fake voters to support a fake government.
