Obama in campaign mode, still demagoguing budget battle

Speaking in PA, President Obama claims that he called for a budget that cuts spending but still “invests” in every single liberal pet project. All of them. Green energy, the works. Then he turned right around and accused Republicans of loading up their side with politics.

He says he does not want to see Washington politics get in the way of getting a budget. But then goes off on another political rant/lecture. He goes on about how we’re one nation and need to come together, but this is the same president who describes his political opponents as “enemies” who should be “punished.” He lectured only the Republicans, did not lecture the Democrats on their failure to pass a budget when they owned both Houses and had him in place to sign whatever they passed.

There’s no negotiating in good faith with someone who is willing to lie with a straight face so brazenly and consistently.

    Only job I can see this guy doing well is, used car sales.

    I wouldn’t buy a car from the guy. Not even a new one.

    I’ve long since stopped listening to anything this lying clown says. Dog farts carry more intellectual heft.

    If Mr. Obama really believes all of this then what the hell is he doing speechifying out on the hustings? Shouldn’t he be in Washington rallying his forces, plotting strategy and fighting to have his budget priorities passed? Shouldn’t he actually provide a measure of leadership to his own side?

    It actually is true – Mr. Obama has nothing to offer, even to Democrats, except sonorous oratory. There is no pretense of leadership or even engagement concerning this critical issue. Like the rest of the Democratic hierarchy the only “policy” he can offer is to hope for a government shutdown and then blame the Republicans.

    How does our country survive such an immoral president?

    Not sure that “demagoguing” is a verb…

    THIS GROSSLY UNQUALIFIED “COMMUNITY ORGANIZER” HAS NEVER STOPPED CAMPAIGNING, SO CAN ANYONE SAY HE IS STARTING!
