What has he been smoking?

Most people are aware that President Obama smokes, although he does his best to avoid being photographed holding a cigarette. Yesterday, Obama said something that makes me wonder just what he has been smoking. Bloomberg news reported the thrust of the statements by Obama as follows: "President Barack Obama, calling current deficit spending “unsustainable,” warned of skyrocketing interest rates for consumers if the U.S. continues to finance government by borrowing from other countries." Obama went on to say that continued deficit spending would greatly harm the economy.

When the Obamacrats came to power 4 months ago, the deficit was 400 billion dollars for the current fiscal year. In just over 100 days, Obama has managed to drive that deficit up to close to two trillion dollars (a five times multiple), by spending on every conceivable program -- even including the study of pig flatulence. So first Obama and the Obamacrats cause the greatest deficit in the history of the world, and then Obama denounces it as causing great harm to the economy. Huh? that means that Obama knew that he was causing great harm when he went into his spending binge, but he did it anyway. Was he just high? Or is it his goal to destroy this country?

Personally, I vote for the latter.
