Look, I am sure if you ask anyone on this board they can tell you what they think Obama believes. The answers may be different, but I am sure everyone has their own view the same is true for a lot of Republicans and Democrats like Ted Cruz, Elizabeth Warren, and Rand Paul. With Romney I think you will find quite a lot of informed people who if you ask them that question would not really know. That is a clear mark of being disingenuous particularly for a candidate that received a major party nomination.

Maxine Waters is comedy gold, my friends. She has that once-in-a-generation brand of stupidity that makes her funnier than most standup comedians.

Back in 2008, Waters was lecturing oil company executives at a congressional hearing when she plainly stated her true intentions: “Guess what this liberal would be all about? This liberal would be about socializing … uh, umm. … Would be about, basically, taking over, and the government running all of your companies.”

Seriously, you can't make this stuff up!

"If I had a son, he would look like Maxine Waters."

-- Barack Obama

Take one issue that you said Obama was consistent in, BUDGET and look just at that:

-Reducing the deficit in half by the end of his 1st term, FAILED.

-Reducing earmarks to 1994 levels by veto if necessary, Bush was irresponsible for letting them grow, not only has he FAILED, but they have grown on his watch.

-Go through the budget line by line to reduce waste, FAILED. He couldn't even pass a budget with the Democrats controlling the House and Senate.

-End no bid government contracts for anything above $25, FAILED.

-Paying for things with a Continuing Resolution is unethical, he has paid for more things with Continuing Resolutions in the first 2 years with the Democrats under control of everything than Bush did in 8, FAIL.

-What is his position on Too Big To Fail, a BS LIE, as he has kept the same policy under a different name.

-What is his position on QE, apparently record levels of it.

-No Special Access for big donors, FAIL.

-No lobbyists in the WH as they lobby for wasteful spending and bad laws, FAIL, called out Bush for it, but has MORE than Bush.


What is Obama's personal life? He lied about the circumstances of his own mother's death. His books about himself are full of lies. He tells so many lies that are easy to check, like that he had never compared himself to Lincoln. We are talking about a man that while running in the 2008 primaries, literally had contradicting commercials running depending on whether it was a major coal state.

You can't trust a word Obama says. You can't trust any position he says, unless he is agreeing with Bush.

Obama and I thought this back in 2008. I just couldn't trust him in the debates and couldn't put my finger on it. During his first term, he proved me right.
