If it wasnt so scary it would be amusing how the Obama ainsmidtration c2a0continues to distract and fool the American people with political c2a0rhetoric, half truths and just plain lies while at the same time c2a0unaware to the public enforcing his radical leftists policies via the c2a0never-ending bailouts, stimulus package pork, economic budget-less c2a0plans and executive orders. c2a0Whatever happened to the promises of most c2a0ethical congress, transparent ainsmidtration and change we can believe c2a0in? c2a0When all we see is the same old political schemes of yesteryear c2a0and worst. c2a0We have a president who like president Bill Clinton is c2a0very charismatic, arrogant and a master of deceit and will stop at c2a0nothing to reform, restructure, reconstruct, re-invent, re-invest, re-build and just plain destroy our government and our way of life. c2a0Mr. c2a0Obama will say whatever our itchy ears want to hear in order to bring c2a0back that bridge to the future Bill and Hillary Clinton promised in c2a0the 90s  that bridge to nowhere call Socialism. c2a0So while we get c2a0sidetracked by president Obama and his willing accomplices in congress c2a0and the media with such matters as the economic crisis, Rush Limbaugh c2a0or contract retention bonuses at AIG, (that this ainsmidtration knew c2a0about way back then), We the people will continue to be had.
