Does Barack Obama Tell the Truth?

weekly standard photo illustration; original image, newscom

In 2008, Barack Obama promised he would put an end to the type of politics that “breeds division and conflict and cynicism” and he would help us “rediscover our bonds to each other and get out of this constant, petty bickering that’s come to characterize our politics.”

As president, Obama and his administration declared (a) he would cut the deficit in half by the end of his first term, (b) unemployment would not exceed 8 percent, (c) he would bend the health care cost curve down, (d) poverty would decrease, and (e) he would fix the housing crisis. In reality, Obama has submitted four budgets with trillion-dollar-plus deficits, March was the 38th consecutive month with unemployment above 8 percent, health care costs have risen, more than 46 million people are in poverty, the largest number in the 50-plus years for which poverty estimates have been published, and the housing crisis has worsened on Obama’s watch.

“This is my last election,” Obama told Medvedev (Video and Commentary)

So, the president is certain he will get another term and is assuring Russia of the same. Also, foreign politics of any import will be put on the back-burner, ignored or postponed in this an election year.

In a private conversation about the planned U.S.-led NATO missile defense system in Europe, President Barack Obama asked outgoing Russian President Dmitry Medvedev for space on the issue. “This is my last election,” Obama told Medvedev. “After my election I have more flexibility.”

The Cost & Legacy of Obama’s Deficits

 

. . .deficit spending during Obama’s four years in the White House (based on his own figures) will be an estimated $5.170 trillion — or $5,170,000,000,000.00.

To help put that colossal sum of money into perspective, if you take our deficit spending under Obama and divide it evenly among the roughly 300 million American citizens, that works out to just over $17,000 per person — or about $70,000 for a family of four.

Captain Barack Schettino of the Economy?

Maybe someone will throw him a life-line and pull him back on-board to resume a safe evacuation.

RNC Chair says Obama ‘Abandoning the Ship’

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus criticized President Barack Obama, comparing him to “the captain that fled the ship in Italy, that’s our own president who is fleeing the American people.”

The White House is criticizing comments by the Republican National Committee chairman comparing President Barack Obama to the Italian cruise ship captain who allegedly abandoned his sinking ship.

From NBC: http://tinyurl.com/7nbxx9q

RNC Chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that Obama was “our own little Captain Schettino.” Priebus accused Obama of abandoning ship in the U.S. and spending more time on his re-election campaign.

Former RNC Chairman Michael Steele told MSNBC the analogy was “unfortunate.”

In response, White House press secretary Jay Carney said: “If you are so desperate for attention that you make an analogy that Michael Steele deems inappropriate, you know you’ve probably gone too far.”

Obama: “We are the Saudi Arabia of Natural Gas”

I guess the president has found religion on natural gas. His environmental base apparently have bigger fish to fry; like shale oil in Canada. Why not cook those small fries with gas? I think this president will be brought down after one term by his arrogance (intellectual and ideological gas), and probably a good reason not to elect Gingrich for president.

Democrats and Executive Overreach

Yet last week’s recess appointments of Richard Cordray as the first chief of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and three new members to the President’s National Labor Relations Board—taken together with other aggressive and probably unconstitutional executive actions—suggest that this president lacks a proper respect for constitutional checks and balances.
