Obama: “the Louisiana Purchase would cover an earthquake in Hawaii”?!

[ Obama ]   

This moment, from Bret Baier’s interview on Fox News with Obama, might just be one of the biggest “WTF?!” moments from Obama’s presidency yet. Obama is either completely making things up, living in an alternate reality, or really, really confused.

Actually, my guess is that’s it’s probably a combination of all three.

Apparently, there was a devastating earthquake in Hawaii that we all somehow missed.

Oh, wait, no. That’s right. There was no earthquake, and Obama is just totally clueless, as usual. In fact, the last earthquake in Hawaii to cause any deaths at all was in 1975, and two people died.

In any case, why is he using this argument, anyways? He’s turned this health care bill into a one-size-fits-all solution for everything. Not only will it fix our health care, but it will apparently create jobs and give disaster relief around the country!

Maybe I’m the only person who doesn’t get it, but I just don’t see how disaster relief has anything to do with health care. This is just more evidence that Obama is just talking out of his you-know-where now. He’s become this desperate. And you know, I say good. That means we’re getting to him, and now’s the time to push even harder.

And, Obama? Just a tip. Someone that you supposedly look up to once gave some pretty good advice, someone named Abraham Lincoln. Read this quote. Memorize it. Repeat it to yourself before you ever choose to open your mouth ever again.

It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one’s mouth and remove all doubt.

Anticipation of the health care “reform” disaster?

Of course it could be drugs … No I’m not accusing him of taking drugs now, but he does have that history. And he either is lying a whole lot these days, or getting confused a whole lot these days. He sure seemed on the edge and cranked up tonight, and really didn’t want to answer questions, just give a speech. Not a good performance.

But where did the earthquakes come into health care.

Just think what would happen if we had a whole press corpse of Bret Baiers. That would be like sending our president through the shredder. hmmm Maybe Hot Air could apply for a press pass.

He was making the “it’s just small change in a near-trillion dollar bill.”

To which one might add, “Take care of the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselvs. Take care of the millions and the trillions will take care of themselves.”
