If sustained, that kind of multi-faceted ridicule has the best chance of doing in Obama's political future.

And in an absolute jaw-dropper, he told business leaders, "I don't like the idea of spending more government money, nor am I interested in expanding government's role." No wonder Americans are confused. Our President is, too. I guess that would make him the most disingenuous person ever.

Obama brazenly gave a speech about earmark reform just after he quietly signed a $410 billion spending bill that had about 9,000 earmarks in it. He denounced Bush's habit of disregarding pieces of laws he didn't like, so-called signing statements, then issued one himself. And in an absolute jaw-dropper, he told business leaders, "I don't like the idea of spending more government money, nor am I interested in expanding government's role." What comes out of Obama's mouth has no connection to what he does or intends to do. The things he says are just words he thinks will sound good to those who desparately want to believe.
