"When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." - Benjamin Franklin;
"And when politicians find that honor and character matter less than buying votes and a constituency, that too will herald the end of the Constitution. When that happens we must work tirelessly to change their minds, or their occupation!" - Hoping The Blind Will See

Chameleon-In-Chief

Have you spent any time really listening to what our esteemed (hm,hm, throat clearing) leader really says? It's hard to comprehend what he actually stands for because he contradicts himself all the time, and he's a master of semantics. He's for a single-payer system in one speech, he's never claimed to be for a single payer system in another speech. He's for free speech and a challenging exchange of ideas, but if you made the mess" shut up and get out of the way so he can mop it up. He's for a unified nation, but divisive in his comments - demonizing individuals and groups weekly, sometimes daily. His vision of "presidential" is lacking in substance, character, and depth. He is a shell, mostly making decisions by the seat of his pants. Oh no, that can't be right. He claims he's being very deliberate with his decisions! Yeah? Was a stimulus package that needed to be passed before anyone voting on it could read it being deliberate? Was pushing Cap & Trade through the House before anyone could read it being deliberate? Was trying to push Health Care Reform and a government option through Congress prior to the August recess, and before anyone could read it, being deliberate? Oh yeah, I guess once again I forgot this guy is all about semantics. And when he says he is acting deliberately he is doing just that. But he doesn't mean "with caution and great thought". He means "with intention". He means he is deliberately working to fundamentally change America forever.

Wake Up America!!
