Do Obama's Words Matter Anymore?

As Mr. Obama's approval ratings plummet into the mid-forties, we're told by Democrats that Ronald Reagan had a difficult first year too, because of the recession he inherited from Jimmy Carter, and that like Reagan, Obama can rally.

It's an inapt analogy.

Ronald Reagan was of, by, and for America.

The words are not Obama’s. They belong to whoever programs TOTUS for Obama. Obama just reads them.

The Obama meme is headed for extinction.

It's a start.

We as a whole are actually removing the rose glasses and starting to think again.

“Let me be clear! Stimulus! Universal Coverage... No tax increases... stop the seas from rising... jobs created or saved.... amnesty.... special provisions for Nebraska... 75% commitment to Afghanistan after 90 days of consideration...”

Nah. Nobody’s listening any more.

The only thing that matters any more is employment. If it goes up, someone might start listening. In the mean time, he’s politically a dead man walking.

There are two areas to consided to answer:

1 You have to believe that he is telling you the truth.

2 You have to believe that he his able to tell the truth.

When you decide on the above statements you must remember that he must able to talk without moving his lips otherwise it’s going to be just another lie.

The naked truth:

Ronald Reagan was of, by, and for America.

He had an innate love of, and trust in, the American people.

He didn't believe there was something wrong with Americans. He believed that the government needed to let them alone to pursue their own dreams.

Reagan trusted that if freed from excessive government and taxes the American people would unleash their entrepreneurial spirit, revive the economy, and create millions of new jobs.

That's exactly what happened.

Barack Obama seems disconnected and aloof from the Middle Class. It's as though he scorns them and disdains their religion, guns, dreams and aspirations.

His economic illiteracy is such that he thinks he can command economic behavior with laws, regulations and taxpayer funds.

He fears that, left to their own devices, Americans will pursue what he deems an incorrect path.
