1. Too bad you can’t sue politicians for fraud.

2. You know what I liked about this video? It had an advertisement at the beginning for “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

   That means that some money was generated from the ad placement and that means that somebody somewhere received a paycheck.

   And that somebody was able to buy food, and maybe insurance, for their family.

   And that somebody did it without telling them how to spend his or her money.

   There used to be a saying “If it’s too loud, you don’t get it.”

   A lot of that generation is saying now: “If it’s too expensive, you don’t get it.”

3. So much of what he’s said has been a lie. It’s not very America how he lies and lies. Maybe some other little country you can do that but not our one. It’s just sleazy. Maybe it’s historically sleazy and all and that’s great but it’s still sleazy.

4. I hate my highly unstable zero-bar wifi connection. It prevented me from seeing this vid. But Nobama has accidentally told the truth to select audiences so many times while lieing to the rest of the world that I can only imagine what he said here.

   I remember somewhere hearing him say “we need a new constitution/declaration” or “we need to rewrite …” something along those lines. But it was a very brief one-time thing that I know of. And his telling a certain group on the left coast that his cap-and-tax will cause energy cost to necessarily skyrocket…

   He is so pathological he didn’t even have to cross his fingers before he put his hand on the upside-down backwards foreign-language watered-down translation Bible that was missing the pentateuch.

   Too bad he’s not this honest nowadays:

   Hardly surprising since he has all the integrity of a used-car saleman. But it is in keeping with his character for him to be often hemming and hawing when it comes to the idea that honesty is the best policy. Policymaking, BTW, that is going to push this nation into the junkpile.

   I’d say that if we’re going to be fools and suckers to the ultra-limousine-liberal in the White House, and take it in the chin or gut (or wherever) from him, we should at least take it with our eyes wide open.
   

   Newsmax.com, Sept 17, 2009:

   The Obama administration has concluded privately that a cap-and-trade law would cost every American household $1,761 a year — or a national total of nearly $200 billion a year, the equivalent of hiking personal income taxes by about 15 percent.

   The previously unreleased Treasury Department analysis, which CBS News reported this week, says the new law would require new taxes between $100 billion to $200 billion a year. That’s how Treasury analysts arrived at the $1,761 per household figure.

   That finding has been echoed by other internal Obama administration documents on the subject.

   “Economic costs will likely be on the order of 1 percent of GDP, making them equal in scale to all existing environmental regulation,” according to a second memorandum that was prepared for Obama’s transition team after the November election.

   CBS reported these figures based on documents that the free-market Competitive Enterprise Institute obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and released on Tuesday.

   Other figures developed in studies for a new cap-and-trade law have been even more prohibitive.

   House Republican Leader John Boehner has estimated that the additional tax bill would be at least $366 billion a year, or $3,100 a year per family. The Heritage Foundation says that, by 2035, “the typical family of four will see its direct energy costs rise by over $1,500 per year.”

   Christopher Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute who filed the FOIA request, told CBS, “Heritage is saying publicly what the administration is saying to itself privately. It’s nice to see they’re not spinning each other behind closed doors.”

   If the American Public did not understand Buyer’s Remorse they will soon.

9. Ayiiiii!! My eyes, my eyes!

   RedState has this up, too. That grotesque mug filling the screen is just too much to take without extremely heavy drugs.

10. Doesn’t he realize people are watching and vetting what he says?!

    Dude, if they filmed your speech, it’s in the archives forever!

11. I think Obama believes that he is so charming and so persuasive that he can say and do anything, and the unwashed masses will just bow down in aw and do his will. Forget being consistent or logical, or even honest–he is the ONE!
