Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

I seriously don't think there is anything that bugs me more than when someone is trying to deceive me. It also makes me crazy to see deception going on and it is not exposed for what it is. I want to jump up and down and start yelling, "Hey, Hey, that's not right!!! That's not true!!"

Over the last couple of weeks I've been stewing in a pot of "crazy soup" as I watch Barack Obama blatantly contradict himself, and all the while the main stream media says nothing. They are so complicit in this great deception going on that all they can do is smile and gush and put a good spin on all he does.

Last week, after just signing the BIGGEST pork laden spending bill in the history of pigs, Obama announced that he was legislating a bail-out for mortgage owners who were facing foreclosure. And this money isn't ear marked for home owners who followed the rules, saved for their homes, bought within their financial means...this money is going to people who should never have gotten home loans to begin with! Thanks to the Carter and Clinton administrations, sub-prime mortgages were "required" to be made available to people who could not otherwise afford a home. It was a recipe for disaster from the get go, and rife with opportunities for abuse.

In spite of his promises to allow the "people" have an opportunity to view legislation before it was passed and to comment on it, he has made no attempt to be "transparent" and approachable. So when he made his housing bail-out announcement last week I was boiling to say the least! Not a word of dismay or rebuke was mentioned in the nightly news about this latest 'serving' on our collective plate of debt. Then surprisingly I saw a clip of a reporter for CNBC on the evening news, ranting about the topic. I believe they included the clip because they were trying to marginalize the guy, when in fact it revealed him to a larger audience. After watching the clip, I just had to watch it again, and then again. It was so cathartic to actually hear someone in the news anywhere be honest about Obama. Here's the clip:

Ironically, yesterday Obama held a "Fiscal Responsibility Summit" at the White House. Uh, a little late to do that wouldn't you say? Do husbands and wives face a financial crisis and rush out to spend up their debt even further and then consider how to be responsible? I don't think so. I believe the summit was a PR attempt to counter Rick Santelli's rant. A rant, that thousands of Americans say a hearty Amen to!

Obama's "Fiscal Responsibility Summit" was for show. It's smoke and mirrors. He's trying to do one thing and look like he's doing something else. Tonight the words will continue, as he addresses the nation on our economy. I promise you that he will do all he can to cast the blame on the last administration. He'll paint the worst possible picture of what we face, and imply that we are all just victims of the last 8 years. Pointing blame and not taking any fiscal responsibility for his own rash decisions in the last month. He'll point out that it will "take a long time", so as to assuage expectations for a time table, while probably announcing more bail-out measures. Just like the experienced illusionist, his words will paint a picture for hearts and minds to embrace...while behind the curtain, he works a more insidious plan for "hope" of "change".
