Rolling up his sleeves today, to give another tired-out, cliched, demagoguery-laden campaign style speech at George Mason University:
It was the fourth outside-the-Beltway event Obama has held on health care in the past two weeks, and his last public push for the legislation that tops his domestic list. He postponed until summer an overseas trip to stay in Washington to help ensure passage and rolled his shirtsleeves up to wade into his delivery. With so much riding on the outcome – from the policy changes he wants to his own political standing – Obama spoke at top decibel levels and, rare for him, ad-libbed considerably from his prepared remarks, filling them in with folksier language and additional dire warnings.
The first-come-first-served crowd of 8,500 responded with vigor, punctuating Obama’s speech with loud cheers. A handful of people booed and interrupted, with one yelling “No socialism,” but the vast majority appeared supportive of his goal.
So many stupid, “wtf” lines in all his speeches….

And he says it with a straight face, folks. “I don’t believe in big government”, he says. Does he realize how foolish he sounds?! Does the man honestly believe the things coming out of his mouth? Or expect us to?
Then again, there still appears to be a significant number of my fellow citizens who are still enthralled under the rapture of the snake oil salesman prez.

Selfish, selfish, selfish. Infantilizing….nanny-government.
“What we’re talking about is commonsense reform,” he said. “You’ve been hearing a whole bunch of nonsense.”
Yup…everytime you open your mouth, Mr. President. “A whole bunch of nonsense”….
