The Audacity of Hypocracy.

So the President is now taking on special interest groups and lobbyists. Is he taking on the same ones he just gave jobs to in his administration?

Our President seems to say a lot of things that contradict his actions. Is he unaware? Or does he just think the American populace is just too stupid to notice?

The President has also revealed his troop reduction timetable and plan to leave a permanent military force in Iraq. The President that began his campaign with an attack on the war in Iraq and by telling his followers that we needed to pull out immediately, has now seen the light of the Bush administration. No change from one administration to the next. Score one for the Bush legacy

On Monday President Obama will sign the $410 budget bill. After repeatedly claiming he would veto all pork and earmarks, he is now "holding his nose" and signing this bill to "get America moving". There are 9000 earmarks in this budget bill.

For those people who voted for Obama because he was going to "Change the way things are done in Washington", you fell for the oldest line in the Republic. And by the 'mainstream media' NOT calling the President out for these broken promises, business as usual is being encouraged over real change. The only change here is the (D) for the (R). Fortunately for us, President Obama doesn't think he will be held accountable for his actions.

As a side note. Imagine a President, in hard economic times, imposing a pay cut on all White House staffers. At the same time ratcheting up the White House entertaining under the guise that it is the "people's house", and the people need to experience it. Fiddling away as Rome burns. This was the White House of Herbert Hoover. This is the White House of Barack Obama. Both very popular men when elected. Both originally believed to be the only man who could cure the countries woes. Both with a self-confidence bordering on mega-ego. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
