We hear daily of the Media's drama
'bout this new Camelot of Obama
Is he Kennedy's encore?
Or Honest Abe once more?
Seems we've 'lected the Dalai Lama!
Celebrate Lincoln's 200th Birthday this year with a study of his doppelgänger, our new president, Barack Obama who...
...claims that America's greatest moral failure is the lack of care for its (poor) citizens... but ignores his personal failure to care for his own family members despite his personal wealth.
...claims that the underpayment of women is criminal, ...but he discriminates by paying women just 78% of the men's salaries on his own Senate staff!
...claims that Americans must lower our thermostats for the common good of the world, ...but actually keeps his office well above the 72F level he condemned!
...claims that no lobbyists will play a part in his 4-yr administration, ...but granted an ethics waiver to a Raytheon lobbyist to be Deputy DoD Secretary.
...claims we have a moral obligation to stand against Walmart's employment practices, ...but his wife earned $100,000 as a director of a major supplier without any complaints.
...claims every American has a right to health care, ...but votes to exempt the children who survive abortion.
...claims "the defining moment of our age" is his introduction of Socialism to America, ...but Reagan coined the phrase to celebrate an end to Communism!
...claims that the races should form a united America, ...but attended sermons preaching against white America for 20 years.
...claims his father was a goat herder, ...but he really was a priviledged, well-educated youth with a government job.
...claimed that America must not betray its fallen soldiers by letting the Iraq war fail, ...but now insists upon unconditional withdrawal.
...claimed during the campaign that his rivals' gas-tax relief plans were bad policy, ...but voted 3 times in the Illinois Senate for a temporary suspension of the state's 5% tax.
...claims that corruption in government must end, ...but has accepted $150,000 from indicted businessman, Tony Rezko.
...claimed to be the only candidate not accepting lobby money, ...but he received over $2Million from them.
There are just so many more deceptive and misleading misstatements!
H. L. Mencken is quoted as having said, "The government consists of a gang of men exactly like you and me. They have, taking one with another, no special talent for the business of government; they have only a talent for getting and holding office."
