The Two Sides Of Obama's Mouth

This morning, at a meeting of financial representatives from 49 of the 50 states that are in line to get the dispersal of $800 billion in stimulus funding, the duplicitous Obama said: "...make sure that every single dollar is well spent. If they are being misspent, we'll put a stop to it..." (See Full Story)

This is from a guy who, yesterday, almost hid in the broom closet of the White House to sign the $410 billion budget bill that contained nearly 9,000 lard dripping projects (See Full Story) . This backroom signing was also from the so-called "Transparency President" who promised to do everything in the light of day. Every other bill that Obama has signed in the past 7 weeks, except for yesterday's porker, had been done with both fanfare and with a group of adoring Democrats to clap and cheer at the signing. The fact that the typical-Obama-show was M.I.A. this time, shows that he is no different than any other politician. Just a lot of hot air! It reminded me of a naughty boy who hides in the attic to read Playboy Magazine. For both that naughty boy and Obama, their hiding was because of guilt.

His $800 billion Stimulus Package is hardly a "well spent" use of taxpayer money. If it was, he wouldn't have to justify it, over and over again, and keep claiming that his porked-up spending on health care, energy, and all the other crap is somehow intended to recover us from this recession. He keeps up the justification talk because he knows that too many people (except for all those love-struck Democrats) aren't buying all that non-recession-targeted spending in his Stimulus Package.
