Obama makes Algore and Lurch seem like truthtellers, by comparison.

[secret garden]

Spread the word. He lies.

[maine-iac7]

Obama says Sowell is a racist .... oh, wait...

[ntmxx]

A little common sense goes a long ways, especially regarding natural born sneaks, cheats and lairs in and out of Government! The best deterrence to ignorance and pop-culture is a good dose classical common sense.

One of the secrets of being a glib talker is not getting hung up over whether what you are saying is true

ROTFLMAO

[gidget7]

I LOVE this man! If only he would run for President.

[GOPJ]

To tell us, with a straight face, that he can insure millions more people without adding to the already skyrocketing deficit, is world-class chutzpa and an insult to anyone's intelligence. To do so after an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office has already showed this to be impossible reveals the depths of moral bankruptcy behind the glittering words.

LOL - that my friend is what's called "speaking truth to power"...

Thanks for the ping jaz.

Sowell: "Con men understand that their job is not to use facts to convince skeptics but to use words to help the gullible to believe what they want to believe. No message has been more welcomed by the gullible, in countries around the world, than the promise of something for nothing."

As posted on another thread earlier, we always must keep in mind that words are only the vehicles used to transport ideas, and they can be used to camouflage those ideas (the cargo) as well.

If the object is to move a significant portion of the U. S. economy from private control to public control, and the words are carefully chosen to disguise the idea (the cargo) as being "reforming health care," then enough gullible people who, for one reason or another, believe health care needs "reforming," will be like an audience at an illusionist's show, they will never see the chicanery before them.

In this case, the illusionist's performance is not about health care. It is about moving forward an agenda for bypassing the Constitution which, by the President's own words, has been being attempted for several decades without success--an agenda for accumulating more power in Washington.

The forces behind him chose what they believed to be a person gifted with words to move their ideas forward. Whether or not American citizens allow it is yet to be seen.

[WOBBLY BOB]

BTTT

[Uncle Miltie]

This is RACIST!

Who is this Thomas Sowell? Dick Cheney’s hunting buddy?

[Albion Wilde]

One of the secrets of being a glib talker is not getting hung up over whether what you are saying is true, and instead giving your full attention to what is required by the audience and the circumstances of the moment, without letting facts get in your way and cramp your style. Obama has mastered that art.

Con men understand that their job is not to use facts to convince skeptics but to use words to help the gullible to believe what they want to believe. No message has been more welcomed by the gullible, in countries around the world, than the promise of something for nothing. That is the core of Barack Obama's medical care plan.

If only Thomas Sowell could have been our first black president. Sigh.

[Running On Empty]

[CharlesWayneCT]

THis was a great point:

Barack Obama's insistence that various dangerous policies are not in the legislation he proposes sounds good but means nothing. Unbridled power is a blank check, no matter what its rationale may be. No law gave the President of the United States the power to fire the head of General Motors, but TARP money did.

I'm sure if we had said "TARP will allow Obama to fire the president of GM", Obama would have called us liars.

[shield]

Even Wilson shouted it....liar liar liar

[eggman]

Even those who can believe that Obama can conjure up the money through eliminating "waste, fraud and abuse" should ask themselves where he is going to conjure up the additional doctors, nurses, and hospitals needed to take care of millions more patients.

They drink the Kool-Aid every day. They will have no problem taking the pain pill when Obama tells them to. If they don't like it they can always blame Bush.

SNIPPET from post no. 1:

"To tell us, with a straight face, that he can insure millions more people without adding to the already skyrocketing deficit, is world-class chutzpa and an insult to anyone's intelligence. To do so after an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office has already showed this to be impossible reveals the depths of moral bankruptcy behind the glittering words.

Did we really need CBO experts to tell us that there is no free lunch? Some people probably did and the true believers in the Obama cult may still believe the President, instead of believing either common sense or budget experts."

[george76]

“Hubris-laden charlatans” was the way a recent e-mail from a reader characterized the Obama administration. That phrase seems especially appropriate for the Charlatan-in-Chief, Barack Obama, whose speech to a joint session of Congress was both a masterpiece of rhetoric and a shameless fraud.

To tell us, with a straight face, that he can insure millions more people without adding to the already skyrocketing deficit, is world-class chutzpa and an insult to anyone’s intelligence. To do so after an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office has already showed this to be impossible reveals the depths of moral bankruptcy behind the glittering words.

Did we really need CBO experts to tell us that there is no free lunch?

If obama had half of Dr. Sowell’s intelligence and a third of his common sense, he would be the single greatest President in our history. Instead, we have 100% obama. What a mess we've made for ourselves.
