He Lied to You, Suckers!

By pm317

Who fell for these words and voted for him? He played you like a violin, didn’t he? Would you vote for him again in 2012?


Words and promises during the campaign were thrown around willy-nilly with no intention of following through them. It was all a masterful strategy to hoodwink and bamboozle the voters. The irony is that Obama warned the voters that they would be hoodwinked and bamboozled but the voters didn’t realize the guy warning them was also the perpetrator. He has gone back pretty much on everything he promised during the campaign. He has developed a pattern of saying one thing and doing just the opposite.

If Obama had done things like he said he would and he had a coherent plan that made sense, people would not be opposed to health care reform. Everybody wants reform but they are confused and nervous about what is being thrown at them right now. Obama has been one gaffefest after another through all this and has lost control of the message starting with saying his grandmother did not need hip replacement or telling a town hall questioner to take pills instead of surgery. His cronies in Congress are not much help when they say they don’t read the bill or need lawyers to understand them or branding dissent as un-American. Much of what they have done do not instill confidence in the people which is why one town hall meeting after another is turning confrontational. Now Rasmussen has new numbers which are not encouraging at all for Obama. Take a look:
Public support for the health care reform plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats has fallen to a new low as just 42% of U.S. voters now favor the plan. That’s down five points from two weeks ago and down eight points from six weeks ago.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that opposition to the plan has increased to 53%, up nine points since late June.

More significantly, 44% of voters strongly oppose the health care reform effort versus 26% who strongly favor it. Intensity has been stronger among opponents of the plan since the debate began.
More here.

Too bad he didn’t follow his own advice about bringing people along on his health care reform legislation. It was all just campaign rhetoric. In the absence of a coherent plan, Obama has lost control of the message. Even Jon Stewart is rubbing it in — saying “trust me” is not enough.
