Or
you might have your own favorite question or two
among those that have replaced the famous
anti-Bush
Where are the WMD?
mantra.
Where is the global warming?
is a good one that has been asked often in our
neck of the New York woods this winter.
Where is the
transparency? has been one of my personal
favorites since it was demanded of Congress that
they pass the 1100-page stimulus bill unread.
This particular question has been asked with
even greater frequency since Czar
Number 17 and his subsequent Marx Brothers and
Sisters got appointed.
Where is the "hope" that we were promised along
with the "change"?
is one you don't hear as often as some of the
others but is is, nonetheless, at the crux of
Obama criticism, particularly as it relates to
jobs and the economy.
In his
oft-repeated
campaign pledge the president made the hollow
promise: "We will be using cutting-edge
technologies to create a new level of
transparency, accountability and participation
for America's citizens."
If you actually voted for Obama, you may have
other questions to ask about his foot-dragging and broken foreign
and domestic policy promises in
such areas as:
-
single-payer health care
-
Iraq and
Afghanistan
-
same-sex marriage
-
redistributing wealth to corporate
entities
-
energy
-
Gitmo closure
-
the Patriot Act
-
First
Amendment issues
-
Bush administration trials
-
government Internet control
-
women's rights
Meanwhile,
the administration
continues to tout its concocted Created/Saved
Jobs stats while anywhere from 11,000 to
half a million or more jobs have gone missing
during each and every month of the Dear Leader's
presidency.
This
has all occurred coincidental to the
vice-president's ongoing commentary, "I guarantee that the
stimulus is working" in his roll as spokesman
for the $787 billion Stimu-later. Joe says that
it will not only achieve its stated purposes but
that all is well in the meantime.
You
can certainly put your trust in Biden's
predictions. One
of his earlier guarantees was "If Barack
Obama is elected president, there will be an
international crisis within six months."
As
international crises go, Nukes in Iran ranks
right up there with the Cuban Missile Crisis
that was faced by newbie John F. Kennedy.
JFK, in a moment of courageous
brinksmanship, called Khruschev's bluff.
Most of us, however, have come to realize BHO is
so full of himself that he believes he can
ultimately grab the bullhorn away from the SWAT
team and talk the hostage-taker out of the bank before the
bomb goes off.
If
you don't think the Dear Leader has a God
Complex, explain why two of his most oft-used
words are Create and Save and why
he constantly warns us that "there will be a
catastrophe..." if we don't put every penny
of our money into the collection plate
immediately.
Amazingly, the otherwise faithless still have
all the faith in the world in the person who has
promised the most and delivered the least.
