The 1st and worst of all frauds is to cheat oneself. Boy, oh boy, does the man-child Obama live this truth. My, oh my how he betrays his potential. Yes, oh yes, Obama spouts lies and prevaricates for personal and political gain because his vision of reality perverts truth. The Democrat candidate wishes to get beyond personality attacks to the real issue of the economy. Yet he and his advisors and supporters continue personality attacks. Of course, the ‘real’ issue is his judgment and character; the non-issue is the state of the economy. Even though Obama claims the Bush administration has been ‘cheap’ with the public welfare, the Federal budget has increased spending 91% for community improvements between 2001 and 2008. Education, health, veterans, medicare and defense have all increased 50% in that same time period even though Obama plans to spend even more across the board excluding the military. Does this sound like a sluggish economy? Any idiot can read, see, hear, taste or feel that things have improved, are improving daily in Americans’ lives. Regarding sports, recreation, travel, renovations, enhancements, enticements, grants, funding, improvements - advancement not regression has been the norm. Americans have more discretionary money and time available, not less. Only the explanation of stupid behavior can account for failures or downturns. Only a lie about a half-empty mug will do for liberals and Obama.
