I don’t believe America has ever seen such a thing. The leader of the free world just followed Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s honest, visionary, and serious U.N. speech with a speech of his own in the Rose Garden. More like it, President Obama just recorded essentially an infomercial on the disastrous Obamacare rollout. In a speech full of unserious claims and low-level false accusations against those who disagree with his liberal, unworkable policies, this president engaged in doublespeak without even blinking. It was unreal.
Obama just proclaimed all our predictions about Obamacare were wrong. The economy is doing great, he claimed, though he dare not direct that to the millions of people who are being kicked to part-time employment, to bankrupt cities, to shuttered Main Street businesses, and to conscientious taxpayers suffocating under a $17 trillion debt.
Obama just claimed for the umpteenth time there will be no health care rationing (aka “death panels”), but apparently Howard Dean, Paul Krugman, and Obama’s own former director of Medicare and Medicaid (and anyone who read the IPAB section of the monstrous bill) didn’t get the memo on that one.
Obama just claimed that the last government “shutdown” in 1996 hurt the economy, when in fact he knows the stock market boomed. I guess he thinks he can furlough reality too. He’s also claiming that he cut deficits in half. In what alternate universe? And if that’s the case, then why does he insist on yet another enormous debt ceiling increase?
The White House is now condescendingly comparing Obamacare’s numerous “glitches” to Apple software updates. The difference is we can CHOOSE to buy Apple products; no one forces us. Obviously the comparison is ridiculously unserious as we find out the harsh, life-changing punishments this new arm of the IRS will hit us with if we don’t buy Obama’s forced product.
Among so many other distorted things, Obama just declared that “Obamacare is open for business” – well, aside from all the “glitches” I guess. His infomercial sent people to broken websites and a hotline that seems permanently on hold. And this same bureaucracy will now be in charge of our health care, which is 1/6th of our economy. Nah, surely nothing could go wrong with that.
The majority of Americans are against Obamacare despite all of the rhetoric fed into Obama’s teleprompter. And amazingly, of course, Obama blamed fiscal conservatives and tea party patriots for the problems and even for this partial government shut down that he and Harry Reid drove. He declared he would NOT negotiate a solution with them, but then in the next breath he said he’s open to hearing from anyone with a better idea. Doublespeak.
Bottom line, sadly our president passes the buck and cries that he has no responsibility in all of this. He acted as if he, the leader, didn’t have any responsibility to pass a budget either – even during his first two years in office when he enjoyed total Democrat control of Congress and the White House.
What a difference in leadership style and substance we witnessed today on U.S. soil. The two speeches said it all. A Warrior unifying his nation and their allies, and a Community Organizer un-organizing and dividing his own.

PING!
Sorry for the lost “I” in the title.
Most of us cannot fathom or feel a ‘suffocating 17 trillion dollar debt’... such words are truly meaningless until the we actually feel it’s effects. As long as the debt ceiling continues to be raised we will not feel that ‘weight’ until it’s too late to do anything about it... if it’s not too late already.
Run Sarah run!
Get a moderator to fix it. Oh wait, can’t with the government shut down.
The amazing shrinking (p)Resident.
But I also think Sarah Palin could darn near save America, although foreigner 0bama has thrust his Fascist dagger so deeply into Uncle Sam's gut that he might die anyway.
Palin: “Well Obama, we don’t do pin pricks but sometimes we elect them!”
ping. once again Sarah is so right
“Obama furloughed reality” bwahaha

Baghdad ‘Bama puts Baghdad Bob to shame.
I wrote my station director who chose to carry that speech and told him to stop running Liar In Chief infomercials. That speech had me boiling. I wanted to write the whitehut but did not need a visit from the gestapo today.
Did he ever look like a little "pin prick" during his little wee-wee'd up presser today.
Sarah has got her crystal ball working pretty good now days.
Obama just claimed that the last government “shutdown” in 1996 hurt the economy, when in fact he knows the stock market boomed. I guess he thinks he can furlough reality too.The President can say anything he wants.
He knows the networks will broadcast his words verbatim and absolutely no one will call him on his "untruths". Which means the majority of folks hearing him will believe his whoppers and blame the Republicans for any problems that occur.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
>> “I guess he thinks he can furlough reality too”
Very good. Much better then the vile snark delivered by the Senate Democrats.
Oh, wait, they're furloughed.
Go Sarah go!
Imagine...... Just imagine if ol’McCain had taken ill before the first presidential debate and Sarah would have had to replace him. Could anything have saved little Zero?
Was he wearing a clown mask and cowboy boots and hat?
