1) Obama is going to quadruple the amount of money spent on finding and prosecuting "tax evaders", yet how many of his own cabinet appointees are tax evaders, and yet no consequences... We can help find them! They are in his regular cabinet meetings... Oh, they paid their taxes after they were about to be discovered... When my kids refuse to acknowledge their wrong choices until I find out myself, they suffer consequences...
2) Homeland Security has warned law enforcement about those of us who believe in the right to life, God's design for marriage, lower taxes, and less federal government power, yet we are (again) decreasing our defense budget (which would be used to fight real terrorists).
3) After a month or so of pushing a huge budget -- so many trillions of dollars that we can't imagine -- Obama now says he is going to give Congress a "pay as you go" policy... I think we call that a "Do as I say and not as I do" policy...
4) Of course, the "apology tour" cannot go without mention -- I mean, it sounds to me like, "I'm sorry for being Americans"... Next, we'll be surrendering to Britain for that ill-conceived attempt to become independent a few hundred years ago... Nevermind that Americans have been responsible for spurring on the industrial revolution, etc, etc. We don't hear Britain going around apologizing for occupying countless peoples of the world through the last several centuries. Somehow, the success of America is a big mistake, and we're sorry! Sort of like the success of the individual American is to be punished by our own America!
5) "Job creation"? Right... I lost my job, but Obama isn't creating a job that could pay my bills even if I did want to go out and do road / bridge construction, and it would only last for a little while anyway...
6) "Jobs created or saved"... Let's see -- all these companies are out there volunteering "we would have let these XXX people go if Obama didn't help us 'save' their jobs." We can't count things we can't know... That is a claim that can never be disproven -- any more than it can be proven.
7) Ever heard of "robbing Peter to pay Paul"? Take money from tax payers to give back to tax payers... Someday, this "pyramid scheme" (or maybe it is actually a Ponzi Scheme) is going to fall apart... If you tried to start a company with such a scheme, you would be breaking the law... You can break the law as long as you are ABOVE the law! (Al Gore: There is no controlling legal authority... Such a legacy! We didn't know Obama would make Clinton's presidency look like child's play.)
8) Can't even start to discuss the federal government ownership / strong-arming that is going on. Scary is just not the word. Lord help the CEO or board of directors that gets on the bad side of Obama... I would be tiptoeing around trying not to O-ffend... Glad I'm a jobless nobody!
9) Instead of cutting these existing programs, let's go back through the stimulous bill and the proposed budget and cut some of that planned waste... Then, let's talk about cutting existing waste...
10) "If you vote for me, I'll GIVE you free health care, etc, etc" -- I think they would call that sort of thing bribery or "buying votes"... I think that might be illegal in some jurisdictions...
11) The cheerleading of the media has been an utter embarrassment, only to be exceeded by the embarrassment of so many of those media members joining the Obama rock group...
This whole thing would be funny if not so incredibly scary!
There are far too many oddities to point out in this really strange political environment... Glad God gives us a clue as to the FINAL outcome -- though it may or may not be right around the corner.
