Different Kind Of Politician Delivers More Of The Same
As the the healthcare debate rages it is perfectly clear exactly what the President meant when he claimed to be a different kind of Politician. Remember all of the change and hope? The “we are the ones we have been waiting for”? Well the only thing that has changed is just how far this President will go to appease the moneymen behind his Presidency.
As Nancy Pelosi leapt to her feet in exultation and joy when the words “public option” were uttered all Americans should have immediately run to craft drawer and in frenzied apprehension started construction of “no public option” signs. The fact that the public option means so much to the San Francisco fringe progressive and her ilk should terrify every American of every stripe. Yet here we are with the very real possibility that the “different kind of politician” will jam this public option down our throats whether we want it or not.
President Obama’s demeanor was acrimonious, adversarial, demanding and even bullying in some instances. He was about as partisan as any President I have ever listened to. He was at best misleading with his facts and at worse, to use his own words, “bald faced lying”. Where exactly is the “difference” we were promised?
The President knows illegal aliens will ultimately have healthcare or what exactly is the point? After all, if 10 to 15 million illegals are included in the fairy tale fantasy of 47 million uninsured, they would have to be covered somehow or they would have to be given amnesty. There is no chance they will be given deportation papers…. You do the math.
So when Wilson yelled “you lie” wasn’t that what the President was doing? What is “different” about a President who wags his finger and then lies?
Americans much to their credit seem a little afraid of the “different” politician they elected. In Israel his approval numbers are in the single digits and here in America I can imagine Jews are at least apprehensive about his “different” approach to middle east peace.
The independents are recoiling from the massive government spending, the health care scare, the extreme environmental lobby and every other nuanced agenda item these “different” politicians want to enact. (What they were doing during the election …oh right….. they wanted “hope and change”).
Conservatives are doing basically the same things they always do….duck and cover. The fringe liberals play dirty and guys like McCain want to be “civil.” It would be comical were it not so pathetic.
So as the “different kind of politician” delivers yet another tedious speech with the same old one sided, dishonest views, and the same old tired media covers the “majesty” of it all I am reminded of an old saying I have always found comforting….
“If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck”.
Different?……Uhhhh huh.
