Arrogant Obama Slams Tea Party Movement & Says He Should be Thanked for Being a Tax Cutter
Presidential Arrogance
Presidential arrogance is never pretty. The great Presidents, such as Ronald Reagan, speak of being temporary custodians of the office there to work on behalf of the American people and not the Federal government.
However, President Obama’s already healthy arrogance and ego, made more so by a worshipful left wing news media, took a new and ugly turn last night. In an address before 1000 big Democrat donors at a fundraiser, Obama slammed the Tea Party movement and then suggested they should really ‘thank him’ for lowering taxes! Yes, you read that right. Here is the news account of the President’s words:
“I’ve been a little amused over the last couple of days where people have been having these rallies about taxes,” the president said, noting the numerous tax cuts pushed by his administration. “You would think they’d be saying thank you.”
He then went on to tell this fiction about his ObamaCare bill:
“For all the sound and fury and all the scare tactics… the law doesn’t hand more control to the government,” the president said, “it gives it back to you, the American people.”
“The big government, big debt agenda is over. We are voting them out … we must restore balance and common sense. We believe in expanding freedom and opportunity for all, not the intrusive reach of government into our lives and businesses.”
This is not only Presidential arrogance it is also blindness. He has absolutely no idea what the American people feel about his tax policy, deficit policy and healthcare fiasco. He continues to be a ‘President’, in his own mind, of only one side of the political spectrum.
It is a rare, peculiar and absolutely dangerous outlook which pretty much says to taxpayers: “The public be damned. The media will protect me. The media will slander my opponents and I will be a ‘transitional’ President by so changing American life I can achieve what I want in just one term if necessary.”
What we have is the great liberal ‘playbook’ in place. You stage big events that are long on pageantry and short on substance. (The recent ‘nuclear summit’ was a case in point.) Then you have your media friends print multiple stories of how you are a President just like Reagan seeking to rid the world of nuclear weaponry. (Though the two periods of history are hardly comparable and Reagan did not give up strategic American defense as Obama did.)
The other part of the liberal playbook is to continually say things you know are not true and assume the media will cover for you. This is true of calling increased federal spending as budgetary restraint. The President identifies tax increases as tax cuts and then tells us more government is really less government.
So, what does this say to us? It says we need to redouble our efforts to engage friends, family and business colleagues or clients with the political process THIS YEAR. This is the year we need to show muscle and resolve. Our goal is a simple one: We will 40 House seats and Pelosi is deposed and the President’s policies neutered. It also means ObamaCare can be defunded and slowly killed.
As for the President we can only shake our heads with disbelief. He and his supporters continue to belittle, ignore and demean the Tea Party movement and millions of other Americans who are fed up with big government and the path to national financial ruin.
Sarah Palin directly addressed the philosophical divide and debate in this country at the Boston Tea Party:
“The big government, big debt agenda is over. We are voting them out … we must restore balance and common sense. We believe in expanding freedom and opportunity for all, not the intrusive reach of government into our lives and businesses.”
The debate is on: Will it be Obama’s Arrogance or the Common Sense of the American people and Sarah Palin? It’s in our hands to decide. If you are reading this article and have not yet volunteered for a Congressional campaign in your state then chances are Obama will be the victor in November. If you are a campaign volunteer, let us say ‘thank you’ for taking a stand for the priceless value of American liberty. This is our battle to win or lose. Let’s go out and win big and take some of the arrogance out of this immature President.
