He was correct. Prescient even. But one politician's invective directed at President Obama early in his administration seems to have been forgotten.
On Sept. 9, 2009, Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C., received widespread attention when he interrupted a speech by the president to a joint session of Congress by shouting, "You lie!" The incident resulted in a formal rebuke, essentially along party lines, by the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives.
Wilson may have been indecorous, but he was right. And the president has continued to deceive. As the economy has failed to rebound, the president has been desperately blaming everyone but himself — George W. Bush, European advocates of fiscal austerity, and especially Republicans in the U.S. Congress.
He fails to mention that for the first two years of his administration, his party's majority in the House and filibuster-proof majority in the Senate gave him a blank check for huge "stimulus" programs and for his socialist agenda.
Supremely arrogant and uncollegial, the president, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid routinely rolled the GOP. (Recall Pelosi's extraordinary arrogance when queried about the proposed ObamaCare legislation: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.")
Shortly after he was elected president, Obama promised substantial budget cuts.
He said officials would "go through our federal budget — page by page, line by line — eliminating those programs we don't need, and insisting that those we do operate in a sensible, cost-effective way."

Excellent point, but typical of what liberals do.
Thank you for posting this. We should all be more aware of the sociopaths among us.
Very revealing, informative, by a reporter who knows how to report...couldn't put it down til I finished it.
Thank you very much for the ping on this. I appreciate it.

I thank you for pointing that out, also.
I should know. I have a tendency to invert, convert, revert and even subvert a point in order to fry the GOPE for orchestrating the nomination of a socialist at the top of a Republican ticket.
