Deception at Core of Obama Plans

True, Obama's tricks come festooned with strings of zeros tacked onto the end. But that's a matter of scale, not principle.

All presidents do that. But few undertake the kind of brazen deception at the heart of Obama's radically transformative economic plan, a rhetorical sleight of hand so smoothly offered that few noticed.

Not like you need to be reminded that Erkel is a liar and a communist but Krauthammer cuts to the chase so well.

exactly right (the article)

Indeed, one could perversely make the case that, if anything, the proliferation of overeducated, Gucci-wearing, smart-ass MBAs inventing ever more sophisticated and opaque mathematical models and debt instruments helped get us into this credit catastrophe in the first place.

Strong tonic coming from Krauthammer...

As a fan of Jaleel White, masterful actor who created the outstanding character named Urkel on ‘Family Matters’, I appreciate you using ‘Erkel’, because it would be a shame to insult a tremendous actor and his character by comparing him to the affirmative action klown poseur-in-chief, Barry Soetoro, aka Barry Dunham, aka Barry Obama, aka Barack Obama, aka Barack Hussein Obama.

“’You never want a serious crisis to go to waste,’ said Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel. ‘This crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before.’”

BUMP!

Charles, I thought you were wavering somewhat in November, but you are right on the money now!

Great article!!!!

Sic Semper Leftist.

Thus is it always with leftists. This is why Baraq can’t talk off a teleprompter.

It’s not that they don’t have core values, it’s that they know that their core values, if exposed, would not be conducive to staying in power.

As a Christian homeschooler, it scares the crap out of me to hear our new dictator single out education.

Charles Krauthammer does it again, straight to the point. BO and his handlers are deceiving the American people. Will they ever wake up and see this empty shell for what he really is,

It wasn't that smooth. There were millions who recognized the danger, and voted against That One because of it. The problem was that there were millions more who either never figured it out, because the MSM never mentioned it, or they knew it, and didn't care, because they thought it was cool for vote for the black guy.
