7 Unfortunately Appropriate Quotes from Barack Obama

Posted by brandonwbarrios on 01/22/10 1:59 PM

Our 44th President, Barack Obama, has said a lot of things to be certain. The following quotes he made on the campaign trail or soon after being elected as President of the United States. Commentary Included.

"This is the moment when we must build on the wealth that open markets have created, and share its benefits more equitable."

We will do that by restricting markets, and punishing productivity.

"What do you think a stimulus is? It's spending- that's the whole point! Seriously."

And if it doesn't stimulate we'll spend some more

.
"We're not going to baby sit a civil war."

We'll join in.

"I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody."

Especially when you do it with other people's money.

"If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists- to protect them and to promote their common welfare- all else is lost."

And even though a majority of the people don't trust the government to run healthcare, I will still force it into law.

"If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress."

And if you're walking down the wrong path and willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make big government.

"Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on terrorism have reduced the pace of military transformation and have revealed our lack of preparation for defensive and stability operation. This Administration has overextended our military."

Therefore when elected to office I seek to expand it further.

The political battle is not yet over. Every congressman needs to hear from Americans outraged over what the politicians are threatening to do to our health care.

Back-Door Taxes Hikes to Hit the Middle Class

Posted by Jesse Benton on 02/02/10 6:36 PM

Update: Reuters has pulled the story referenced below. We'll keep an eye out for any further updates.

A central plank to Obama's camapign was a pledge not to raise taxes on the middle class. Here's a video on how that is going. Obama Tax Promises 7/13/2009 VIDEO (2:40): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56c1fSdTAWI (Thanks to my friend Adam Radman at ATR)

Now, Reuters and Drudge are reporting on the back-door, sneaky way the Administration is planning to cut the deficit - not by cutting spending, or trimming back our overseas empire. No, it's to squeeze more money out of your pocket.

In the 2010 budget tabled by President Barack Obama on Monday, the White House wants to let billions of dollars in tax breaks expire by the end of the year -- effectively a tax hike by stealth.

Read the rest here.

Obama pledges to continue fighting

Posted by Matt Hawes on 01/22/10 3:51 PM

Via CNN:

Offering his most extensive public comments about the election debacle in Massachusetts, President Obama acknowledged that he's taking some lumps but also trying to cast himself as a populist who will "never stop fighting" to bring health care reform and jobs to communities like this hard-hit manufacturing area outside Cleveland.

"Let me tell you, so long as I have the privilege of serving as your president, I'll never stop fighting for you," Obama said at the beginning of a town hall meeting with voters Friday. "I'll take my lumps, too. I'll never stop fighting to bring jobs back to Elyria. I'll never stop fighting for an economy where hard work is rewarded, where responsibility is honored, where accountability is upheld, where we're creating the jobs of tomorrow."...

Read the rest. http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/01/...ex.html?hpt=T1

If the White House wishes to continue pursuing health care, that quote may have to be shortened to, "I'll never stop fighting you," with the release of a new Rasmussen Reports survey http://www.rasmussenreports.com/publ...th_care_reform showing that 58% of Americans oppose the plan currently before Congress.

Here's an idea, Mr. President. Let's take just one plank from the Operation Health Freedom platform: legalize insurance competition across state lines. It would be the first legitimate use of the Commerce Clause power in quite some time, and the ensuing competition would bring a drop in prices and a repackaging of plans to better suit consumers.

One little fix. One big impact for freedom.

Then again, that would be actually fighting for the people instead of trying to dictate the course of their lives. It would be real change, and we just can't have that.
