President Obama Is No Longer Tethered To Reality
Forbes ^ | July 28, 2011 | Peter Ferrara

Posted on 07/30/2011 12:23:31 PM PDT by Clairity

President Barack Obama's speech to the nation Monday night was highly disturbing. Because read carefully, it reveals a president wildly divorced from the fundamental realities of the nation he is supposed to be leading.

President Obama actually told America on national television that it is a nation "with a system in which the deck seems stacked against middle class Americans in favor of the wealthiest few." It is incomprehensible how a man serving as president of these United States could make such a fundamentally false assertion about his own country.

The president further proclaimed Monday night that "most Americans don't understand how we can ask a senior citizen to pay more for her Medicare benefits before we ask corporate jet owners and oil companies to give up tax breaks that other companies don't get." But his ObamaCare law already more than asks seniors to pay more for their Medicare benefits. It requires them to pay 40% to 200% more if they, in the President's infinite wisdom, earn too much, defined as over $85,000 a year this time.

Simple, Obama know he is lying, he is doing it deliberately, thinking that he can keep fooling the American people.

Obama and the Democrats are the ones who declared war on seniors, while blaming the Republicans for it.

“Simple, Obama know he is lying, he is doing it deliberately, thinking that he can keep fooling the American people.”

Precisely. That is his real profession. What is a “community organizer”, but a leftist provocateur and agitator? This is all he is on the rare occasions (thankfully) when he wishes to work.

Yes, and he has singlehandedly done more to bankrupt, squash and punish the entire middle class and all small business owners than any previous president in our history. He now will blame this on the evil rich republicans and our TEA party patriots. He lies.

0bama has never been acquainted with reality. Raised by Marxists and stayed in their company ever since.

“a system in which the deck seems stacked against middle class Americans in favor of the wealthiest few.”

Just read this in the other article, copied it to make my point, “Last year, he extended the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans and gave up the public option in the health care debate.”

The deck is stacked against the middle class Americans by himself and his party.

One-hundred years from now, there will still be people like Peter Ferrara who won't get that Obama was a Marxist/Socialist who hated capitalism in general and America in particular.

President Obama Is No Longer Tethered To Reality

Extreme sociopaths are only tethered to their own little reality.......Such is the nature of their mental illness.

Obama was *never* tethered to reality. Just like any imam.

It is a nation "with a system in which the deck is stacked against most Americans in favor of the well-connected few."

- CEOs (Jeff Immelt)
- K-Street lobbyists
- Deep-pocketed campaign donors
- Unions
- Foreign leaders/organizations hostile to America
- Far-Left organizations
- Race-hustlers

Well, he did say “...seems...”. And that’s what the MSM would have you believe. I am astounded at how many people I know who think that the “rich” are getting a tax break that means they DON’T PAY TAXES. If the MSM ever printed the breakdown for which income groups pay the most taxes, they would have their eyes opened.

I won’t hold my breath waiting for that one.

You must be referring to the civilian defense force Obama promised to create?
