Actions like this clearly show that President Obama thinks he is our ‘Godfather’ and can order hit jobs on anyone or do it himself without any regard for sound judgment, the law, leadership, or how to properly run a business (the government).

He simply thinks that everyone of U.S. work for him and he can fire or belittle anyone without repudiation.

Budget director Peter Orszag published a statement yesterday that accused the CBO of essentially lying in its analysis… [...]

Unfortunately, 40 years of increasingly federalized control of public education has resulted in an electorate so ignorant they swallow all the Left’s sweet-sounding prescriptions whole.
`
Worse yet, beginning with Reagan, Republicans have cooperated in taking lower income people off the federal tax table altogether. Roughly half the population with any “taxable income” pays no federal tax at all. They no longer have a stake in the tax rates, and so are free to demand ever-greater services which are then billed to the half which do pay taxes.
`
Democrats can now get elected without the votes of any taxpaying citizens at all in many districts. Is it any wonder they always want to raise taxes, then?
`
Pray for our country.

It’s not just Hawaii. Tennessee tried universal healthcare coverage years ago (TennCare). It was a disaster, as costs quickly spiralled out of control. Massachusetts is currently having a similar experience.

But as we’ve noted before, if Dims could learn lessons from the past, they wouldn’t be Dims

And let us not forget Kentucky Kare or the short-lived Washington Health Services Act. Kentucky Kare all but bankrupted that state’s public employee system. Then there were the the insurance market “reforms” that destroyed direct purchase health insurance markets in New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, and Maine. Everyone of these ideas is in the Obama Plan.

When the left gets an idea in its collective head it doesn’t let a little failure shake its confidence in its version of utopia.

Is this President, and his admin insane?

How much more of this, are we going to put up with, before we say ENOUGH!!! Bullying is not becoming…and if Obama wants to apologize, perhaps he’d best start with himself, instead of trying to shame us. His tactics, and machinations, are getting so tiresome, that it might be time to rally the other kids on the play ground to face down this, or these bullies.

Someone better copy the department of labor before this goes down the memory hole

ITs a VERY dangerous slope for the government to go down to make an effort to force agencies to cover up embarrasing facts. That creates a distrust that destroys the public trust in their government.

“Either Obama should put Orszag on a leash, or get rid of him immediately — and find a real budget director, not just a liberal-agenda hack.”

State of denial, Ed? Orszlag hacks up the budget and lies about projection because that’s what Obama is telling him to do that. You do understand that … right?
