Obama Has a 'Pony' for You
The American Thinker ^ | August 21, 2009 | Jan LaRue

Even little kids know when they've been had.

Like the little girl in the bank commercial who gets a tiny plastic pony while the other little girl gets a real pony, and the little boy who gets the cardboard truck, most Americans think President Barack Obama is hiding behind the fine print in his incomprehensible health care plan.

It's why Obama's poll numbers are dropping faster than the faces of the kids in the commercials.

Obama's presidential approval index is now at minus 6; 32 percent strongly approve of him and 38 percent strongly disapprove. Since his inauguration, his job approval rating has sunk from 65 percent to 51 percent. Only 27 percent trust him with the economic crisis, according to Rasmussen daily tracking polls.

Like the guy in the commercials, if you don't ask, Obama won't tell. If you sign up for his government-run health care plan because he promises you a pony, I wouldn't load up on hay.

Recall that Obama assured Americans during the presidential campaign that he wouldn't "take away folks' guns." Despite his record of voting for every gun control bill that was introduced in the Illinois Senate, the majority voted for him.

He said the Second Amendment is a personal constitutional right. At the same time, he said that a District of Columbia law banning private possession of a handgun in the home was "constitutional." His first Supreme Court appointment, Sonia Sotomayor, ruled against Second Amendment rights every chance she got.

At the "Saddleback Civil Forum on the Presidency" last August, candidate Obama said, "I believe that marriage is the union between a man and a woman.

BRILLIANT. Amazing Obama is too stupid to understand the current political environment he has created. Maybe he needs a vacation, or at least a do-over.

The analogy in that posting of 0’s promises and the Ally TV commercials showing the disappointed kids while the adult laughs at them is great! That’s exactly what 0 thinks he has been doing to the American citizens. ....He’s apparently too slow on the uptake to realize that most, including many who voted for him (without being paid to do so), no longer believe his BS.
