In his weekly radio address, Obama took a shot at Republicans for obstructing his plans for economic growth and recovery. What nonsense. There are enormous majorities of Democrats in both the House and the Senate. Obstruction is not something that even makes sense. And what is the basis for the charge? Only this, Republicans in the Senate are insisting that the paygo rules passed by Congress and signed by Obama just a few months ago actually be enforced. Those rules said that any new spending has to be paid for by tax increases or cuts in other spending. Obama made a big show of his opposition to further increases in the deficit at the time. Now Republicans are just asking him to be true to his word. Good luck on that one.
The truth is that Obama is dishonest even by presidential standards. With Obama there is no parsing of the meaning of "is" in order to lie. He just flat out lies all the time. He began during the campaign (no new taxes for anyone making under $250,000 -- well there are over 300 billion in such new taxes already). He continued once in office (If you like your doctor and current plan nothing in the bill will make you change -- although we now find out that over half of all plans do not meet the new standards and will have to be changed). Why would anyone be surprised that he is lying now.
I give the American people enough credit to expect that all but the most partisan Democrats will see Obama for what he truly is: a pathological liar who has no talent for running the country. There is always someone else to blame for every problem. Nothing is his responsibility. Even the failure to clean up the oil spill was Bush's fault. Obama has to go!
