Anthony G. Martin said it well enough about the interesting reasoning within Obama’s speech last night. So, I’ll just let him say it. Click and read.

Updated: Ok, I changed my mind. I’m going through my morning webroll and read this article. It kinda set me off.

He says the economic crisis is one he inherited from Bush. Now I’m no fan of Bush, but last I checked the Presidency had no control over economic matters. That’s the job for Congress, which of course Obama was a part of during the Bush administration. And Obama is on record as voting for all those damn bailouts. So uh…. who helped to create the mess, Mr. Obama? You helped to create that inherited mess.  But maybe this is just showing Obama’s ignorance for the Constitution he’s supposed to be sworn to upholding. I mean, he also believes that government has a role in solving our problems… don’t know where that is in the Constitution, but I guess since he apparently believes it to be the case, then it must be Fact and Truth, right?

Y’know, for all the American families that are having to tighten their belts, most of them are not only reducing their spending but many are also reducing their income. So why is it that the folks in Washington give lip service to reducing their spending, but at the same time just voted to jack up their “income” at the taxpayer expense? If you really want to eliminate all those problems, Mr. Obama, you probably shouldn’t have signed that trillion dollar “stimulus” (go read Anthony Martin’s article above).

Now he’s saying the bank bailout is going to cost more (surprise surprise). So we have to cut spending, but now if Congress has to “do whatever proves necessary”, which just means increase more spending (huh?? which is it?? reduce spending or increase spending?)… which means more borrowing against our grandchildren’s future… which means further tanking the US’s standing in global markets, which means further dollar weakening…. yeah, do whatever’s necessary. Keep flushing the country down the toilet, and continue to use the Constitution as your toilet paper.

*sigh*
