Our All-Knowing Obama

Our All-Knowing Obama:
There’s no doubt he has the smarts. Maybe he knows it only too well.
As Wall Street Journal columnist James Taranto cautioned recently: “A truly humble president would occasionally evince some doubt as to whether he is worthy to lead America. Obama seems to doubt whether America is worthy of being led by him."
Predictably, in an address last week he smirked that the Tea Partiers should be thanking him for all the tax cuts he has wrought instead of griping.
Then, as a Washington Post column today by Jim Hoagland notes, “President Obama was making editing changes in the Nuclear Posture Review right up to the last minutes before it was to go to press,” according to William J. Perry, defense secretary in the Clinton administration...
I guess we shouldn’t be surprised, since Obama surely knows more about nukes than...Tea Parties.
He and the rest of our Democratic rulers in Washington... “[B]elieve that they can spend your money better than you can. They believe that we can tax and spend our way to prosperity rather than allowing the ingenuity of the American worker and our free-market system to thrive. They believe that the government knows better than you and your doctor what medical treatments you need. Simply put, they believe that the government is the solution to every problem we face.” -- I’m sorry I lost the attribution of that quote, but it’s clear that “they” aren’t you or me.
Here’s another anonymous tract someone sent me that also rings true:
The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party.Every Democrat presidential nominee since 1984 went to law school...Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school.The Republican Party is different. Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford...
The United States has 5% of the world's population and 66% of theworld's lawyers. When you see that 97% of the political contributions from the American Trial Lawyers Association goes to the Democrat Party, then you realize who is responsible for our medical and product costs being so high...
And, thanks to Walt Kreutzer for forwarding me this gem:
To President Obama and all 535 voting members of the Legislature : ...
a.. The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775. You have had 234 years to get it right, and it is broke.b.. Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.c.. Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.d.. War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.e.. Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.f.. Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.g.. The Department of Energy was created in 1977 to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. It has ballooned to 16,000 employees with a budget of $24 billion a year and we import more oil than ever before. You had 32 years to get it right and it is an abysmal failure.
You have failed in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollarsAND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN FIX OUR FINANCIAL MARKETS WITH REGULATION?______
But let’s be kind. As they say, it’s for our own good...and forget about our heirs.
