Tell Me Lies, Tell Me Sweet Little Lies

Sorry for the lack of Obama-nations. I've been so busy and with the little free time I've had I haven't felt like infuriating myself by reading or writing about the communist in chief.

Some fun little tidbits about Obama:
1. Last week he talked about how important frugality was, at the same time he's on track to be the biggest debtor President in US history. He will outspend FDR, even though FDR was dealing with the Great Depression and WWII. During FDR's 12 fiscal years as Pres., federal spending averaged 19.35% of GDP. During Obama's four years, his federal spending will average 24.13% of GDP. Actually, during FDR's first 8 fiscal years, he only spent 9.85% of GDP. That was until the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.

2. He's still defending that STUPID spendulus bill. He had the gall to say it already created 2 million jobs and it will create 1.5 million in 2010. Do you think we're stupid Obama? A CBS poll recently showed only 6% of Americans thought it created jobs!!!! SIX PERCENT! Even the hard core left doesn't think it created jobs.

3. He recently referred to the Bush years as the "lost decade". Really Obama? When Bush was pres. unemployment averaged between 4 and 5% and I remember my 401k had a lot more than it does now.

4. On Feb. 2, he said all the "red ink" in the federal budget "keeps him awake at night". His solution? Sign an executive order creating the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform to make recommendations on how to reduce the country's debt. That's after he approves a budget that is over $1 trillion in the red.

I Guess Obama WAS Lying About Illegal Aliens and Healthcare

Remember when Obama said his health care plan "would not cover those who are here illegally"? Kind of an odd way to say it instead of just saying "illegal aliens" but then again, he's the king of grandiose speeches. I think that's the only reason he got elected. Remember when Joe Wilson screamed "You lie!" about that?

Mr. Obama's current plan is to legalize the current illegal aliens to get them healthcare.

According to the Washington Times:
President Obama said this week that his health care plan won’t cover illegal immigrants, but argued that’s all the more reason to legalize them and ensure they eventually do get coverage.
He also staked out a position that anyone in the country legally should be covered - a major break with the 1996 welfare reform bill, which limited most federal public assistance programs only to citizens and longtime immigrants.

So he wants to have it both ways. Does this also mean he's lying when he says there will be a ban on abortion in this health care bill?

Change You Can Believe In, Part 2

OK, now I'm really mad. Obama's actions have hit close to home - my handsome hubby got laid off. I know the economy was going down when he took office, but Obama's stupid actions haven't helped. Instead of spending $1 trillion on nothing, which is what the spend-ulus package did, maybe instead he could have said no capital gains tax for a year. Or tax incentives to small businesses. Or anything other than blowing $1 trillion on things as ridiculous as hybrid vehicles we don't need, Amtrak and turning federal buildings into green spaces, none of which helps anyone I know but all of which will hurt everyone I know in the long run.

A little comic relief: Obama wants to impose an extra tax on aspirin. Why? Because it's white and it works.

Now, my Obama-nation: Obama's fuzzy math. During his press conference the other night, he claimed he's created or saved 150,000 jobs. Actually, we've lost 1 million jobs since Oh-crap took office. His 150K figures comes from what his advisors THINK the stimulus bill is doing. Click here to read more.

Another example of his fuzzy math? His tax cut to 95 percent of Americans. He claims that if you are refinancing your house, you are getting the equivalent of another tax cut: "And we launched a housing plan that has already contributed to a spike in the number of homeowners who are refinancing their mortgages, which is the equivalent of another tax cut."

Sometimes I wish I lived in his fantasy world. : (
