One Gosh Darn Irony after Another with This Obama…

The Associated Press is reporting that Obama is asking American families to make tough choices, as he assures America that government will be making tough choices.

The irony?

Well, highlighted in the article is Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano’s ending consulting contracts to create new seals and logos that, Obama said, have cost the department $3 million since 2003.

Seals and logos?

Like this one?

Or, maybe this one?

How ’bout this one?

Or this one?  Priceless!

But, seriously, folks, eliminating a paltry $3 million from DHS, which has a FY 2009 budget of $50.5 billion.  And a FY 2010 that is expected to go even higher?  That’s a tough choice?

This is new toughness and making tough choices in light of a $787+ billion stimulus plan and his $3.6+ trillion budget proposal?

The overall irony?  Obama is calling for American families to do with less while Obama and government are doing with more and plan to do more with even more.

Has anyone explained to this Administration that one cannot spend one’s way out of debt?

My recommendation?  Pay attention to the Tea Parties.

Then pay attention to common sense.

For Obama, that would be a tough choice.

This is no longer the South Side of Chicago, in the baddest part of town…

This is the United States of America.    Abuse it and we all lose it.
