“We simply cannot continue to spend as if deficits don’t have consequences. As if waste doesn’t matter. As if the hard earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money. As if we can ignore this challenge for another generation. We can’t.”
President Barack Obama
February 1, 2010
Note: Obama said this on the same day that he proposed another record spending plan that will raise the national deficit to nearly 1.6 Trillion dollars. This is nearly 4 times the 2008 national deficit when President Bush was in office.
Obama tripled the national deficit his first year in office. This year he will nearly quadruple it.
This guy is truly amazing.
More… Senator Gregg calls this Obama’s drunken sailor budget.
Barack Obama will increase the number of government workers by 14.5% his first two years in office.

Obama’s credibility is in the toilet. The amazing thing is that he knows it and keeps on LYING every chance he gets. It’s getting to the point where it just boggles a sane person’s mind.
It doesn’t seem to bother him though, which makes one wonder what dirty tricks they have up their sleeves in order to keep him and his minions in power through the next 7 years. Someone better read through the bills being passed from now on. Or it may be too late with this bunch. I’m sure they’ll try to sneak in something that crowns Obama ‘king’ for life.

Completely illogical.
(Does Obummer even realize how inconsistent he’s being?)

I guess Obama’s running out of scapegoats to blame for this mess so he pretends he just got to Washington and the guy who was President last year is responsible.

Hey, Bernie Dumb-berg:
If I call Obama a liar for saying one thing and doing another am I drinking far right kool-aid?

Obama is borrowing money from China in order to create more government jobs so that the unemployment numbers don’t look so bad.
This is pure CYA … there’s an election this fall, and the man needs MONEY in order to GROW GOVERNMENT in order to artificially make the unemployment numbers look better.
Talk about “transparency” … we can see right through this guy’s pathetic charade.

And another thing. Other first ladies had 1 or 2 employees. Michele Obama has over 20. Can Americans be reimbursed for this extravagance? Michele does not even have a job!

Don’t I understand that this budget “assumes” (counts as money available to be spent) some unspecified billions of dollars that the passage of crap-n-trade is supposed to bring?
WHAT can we do to paralyze Washington before they paralyze us?

Drunken sailor budget? By my observation, drunks of all types get cut off when they run out of money. Too bad it doesn’t apply to congress.

Now that he has said it, why , pray tell, doesn’t he believe it? Words, Just Words…
This crazy stuff has to stop. Anyone think that the Democrats will do anything except wimper and say yes, boss?
Conservatives need to remain united to stop all the Marxism that is going down. This is nuts!

A Logic Error, If Anyone Cares
No one expects consistency from Democratic politicians, but the Institute for Energy Research notes an egregious contradiction in President Obama’s FY 2011 budget.

There’s a good chance for a Republican – true fiscal conservative – to pick up a departing flaming lib’s (good friend of BO’s dad at UH) House seat.
Neil Abercrombie, from Blue Hawaii, will retire at the end of this month to spend his time raising money/running for Governor.
Special election most likely “as early as May 1″ and Charles Djou will be running against 2-3 Dems. He’s a respected conservative with an impressive resume.
AceofSpades reported on this yesterday – with the info and link to contribute for those interested.
