Obamateurism of the Day

So, self-responsibility is going to be critical. This is probably not going to be something that’s legislated.

Probably not going to be legislated? That’s an outright lie if the filthy liar in the White House has anything to do with it. Cap & Trade already includes that clause about lightbulbs since Americans are apparently too weak on self-responsibilty to pick the hazmat one so the polar bears are happy. When it comes to healthcare, they’ll start small by outlawing soda in school or some other mundane thing “for the children” Next thing you know, employers are going to be mandated to give free gym memberships to all employees and smoking will be considered a misdemeanor crime.

In short, I’m all for self-responsibility but not when it is being urged by a criminal who says that government “probably” won’t legislate you into doing what Big Brother thinks you should be doing.

BTW, is he going to quit smoking before or after the next reminder to inflate our tires properly?

These kinds of rules and edicts don’t apply to people like Obama. They are mandates sent down from Congress to rule the little people, not titans like the filthy liar in the White House. Likewise Teddy Kennedy is out there advocating a healthcare plan that would have aready killed him off were he ever forced to get the kind of coverage he is insisting all Americans accept.

Yea, his policies overall are far worse than I ever imagined.

They exactly as bad as I imagined. The only suprise is the way the filthy liar and his henchmen in Congress don’t even put up a pretense of bipartisanship or mask what their real intent has been. The UAW has been handed the auto industry, ACORN has had untold millions flow into its coffers, he’s trying to make the tree-huggers happy by crippling the American economy with cap/trade and now he’s going out after healthcare to rub Hillary Clinton’s nose in the fact that he did what she failed to do.

Next on the agenda IMO are the social issues beginning with legitimizing the gay lifestyle within society, repeal of DADT, federal funding of abortions, return of the fairness doctrine to help his propaganda efforts, and a raft of other things that will further put the government into our everyday lives.

My only question is if Americans will wake up in time to thwart the filthy liar’s efforts. Because, once something like Obamacare passes, there is no going back.

He says while he tells us to unhand our lunch money.

Well said! That’s got to be one of the top posts of the day.

He assumes the entire country is like his community, that we need to be told what to do because we are lost without him. And that in and of itself is the gift he has given us. I believe his attitude towards Americans contributes to at least half of the growing resentment and dissatisfaction we are seeing in the poll numbers.

It’s worthwhile remembering what John Edwards (the unfaithful politician, not the psychic) proposed during the primaries because it is eerily similar to the filthy liar’s views on self-responsibilty.

TIPTON, Iowa – — Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards said on Sunday that his universal health care proposal would require that Americans go to the doctor for preventive care.

He noted, for example, that women would be required to have regular mammograms in an effort to find and treat “the first trace of problem.”

Maybe he meant “wellness/prevention”. Ed, don’t be so nitpicky!

Maybe TOTUS II burped.

Seriously though, I really find it scary that he’s talking about maybe “legislating” self-responibility. That’s the real take away from here even if the obamateurism is nothing more than sloppy word choice by the filthy liar.

If he loses health care, and loses cap n trade, I think it’s less likely that he’ll lose the Congress.

I’d say the litmus test isn’t either of the above bills but rather the mood of the nation and the state of the economy come November 2nd 2010. If there is some tangible turnaround that the filthy liar can lay claim to “the stimulus working” he has a better chance of keeping his corrupt majority on the hill. If, however, the economy merely sputters like a sparkler instead of booms like a full-fledged fireworks display, there may well be a “throw the bums out” backlash that could seriously cut into what the filthy liar can ram through Congress on a strictly partisan basis. I for one would take time off from work to see Nancy Pelosi hand over the gavel to the GOP.

Maybe have ACORN organizers show up each day with a bull horn and call everyone out into the street?

This is the 21st Century. They’ll mandate that everybody gather at their televisions or computers each morning to get the daily devotional talking point from the filthy liar, sing the united nations anthem, and perform exercises led by the filthy liar himself or guest hosts that highlight whatever is on the agenda for that day.
