As President Obama prepares to jet off to the tranquility and luxury of Martha’s Vineyard for a 10-day respite from the rigors of being the most powerful man on earth, filthy rich, and a messiah-like icon to millions who apparently do not give a damn about truth or facts, the state of the American Union is precarious, to say the least.
Indeed, as America’s Elitist-in-Chief races to escape the unwashed masses who bought into the liberal media- created ObamaMania crap, all is not well:
( )45 Million Americans are receiving food stamps;
( )”Full employment” has been refined to mean an unemployment rate of 8.75 percent, which, under Obama, is unachievable;
( )Federal spending and deficits have long been out-of-control, made all the worse by two years of governance at the hands of Democrat “spend terrorists” in the White House, the U.S. House, and the Senate;
( )After 35 months of the Obama presidency, the world agrees with The One’s opinion that America is not exceptional or special; a fact that The One is directly responsible for;
( )An astounding 73 percent of Americans believe that the U.S. is headed in the wrong direction, a harsh judgment that Obama blames on Republicans, Standard and Poors, and the ever reliable punching bag, former President George W. Bush.
Meanwhile, when it comes to socialized medicine known as ObamaCare, and fixing the federal deficit which may increase to at least $20 trillion over ten years, our befuddled and in-over-his-head Marxist president pleads for “shared sacrifice” from all, but mostly from the rich, those unpatriotic rascals with the temerity to succeed and prosper.
To which a perfect rejoinder might be: Heal thyself, Physician, or more succinctly, “Lead by example!”
Obama’s angst to get the hell out of Washington was made perfectly clear by his response to the idea that Congress should be called back given the Obama-created economic crisis.
He said, “The last thing we need is Congress spending more time arguing in D.C.” “What I figure is, they need to spend more time out here listening to you and hearing how fed up you are.”
Oops!
That may be the LAST thing you need, Mr. President, given the fact that your approval rating is headed south at breakneck speed, most people oppose another costly, unworkable, and unsustainable entitlement program (ObamaCare), and given the overwhelming disgust at the “agreement” that you signed, which will add seven trillion dollars to the deficit!
Still, we Americans should be grateful to the President for his selfless concern about the impact of bringing Congress back into session.
And, no, Obama’s refusal has NOTHING to do with the fact that calling Congress back would require that he cancel his own vacation plans.
With Obama, its all about what is best for America—the only problem is his perception that what he wants is ALWAYS best!
