The S’faccim In Chief
Folks, I assure you you’re going to love this one:
Channeling the Young Patrick Henry
If this be treason, make the most of it.No, not treason against this wonderful nation. But this column may sound suspiciously like treason against the cult of Obama, and against his hagiographers in the establishment media, and against the very idea that this president actually loves this nation’s liberal, republican, constitutional order. Consider this also to be treason against the myth that our president is a man of deep, or even average, integrity.
Barack Obama is a radical’s radical and a man whose ego vastly outstrips his prior accomplishments. He is dangerous, and after just seven weeks he already is leading this country into disaster.
Let’s start with his integrity, or lack thereof.
…Obama told the nation he doesn’t “believe in bigger government” while proposing the biggest government in American history. He says he wants bipartisan consultation but then asks for no substantive Republican/conservative proposals on either “stimulus” or health care — or on anything else, for that matter. He repeatedly has claimed he would fight against earmarks but signs bills full of them after not lifting a finger to take them out. He pledged not to appoint lobbyists to his administration (a stupid pledge anyway) and then appointed lobbyists to his administration. He promised to allow the public five days to read all bills before he signs them, but already has broken that promise twice. He blasted President G.W. Bush for overusing “signing statements” and the very next day issued a signing statement. He promised transparency in all sorts of ways but then failed to provide it.
Oh, but it gets better. I know that might seem hard to believe; trust me. Just trust me.
