Where are the cuts? This President tells you what he thinks you want to hear to get your support - and then he never follows through. He does this because he knows he can keep on getting by with it. He treats you like fools. Why is this okay with you?

==================================


Fool Me One Hundred Million Times...

From Douglas Kellogg on Tuesday, July 21, 2009 4:26 PM

Today marks the 92nd day since President Obama promised to cut a meager $100 million from the federal budget in 90 days. Jonathan Weisman, of the Wall Street Journal’s Washington Wire, covered the White House’s failure to meet this deadline.

$100 million is a pittance compared to the $3.69 trillion federal budget and $787 billion stimulus, as this Heritage Foundation visualization and the 10,000 pennies video help to illustrate. That should make it a very easy goal to accomplish though…Right?

Wrong! Just when you think President Obama has set the bar so low, he can’t help but finally keep a promise; he proves you wrong. If you have not learned by now – never doubt President Obama’s ability to break his campaign promises.

On the eve of the President’s fourth primetime press conference, which will undoubtedly focus on his intentions to spend hundreds of billions on a massive healthcare spending bill, he has broken yet another promise by failing to cut $100 million from the budget.

The explanations are vague: “The recommendations have been gathered by the Cabinet Secretary who will be reporting them to the President shortly” said White House Budget spokesman Ken Baer. Whatever those cuts may be, the President will not even look at them within the timeline he guaranteed to the American people.

Unfortunately for the President, the American people are learning not to trust him, as his disapproval rate jumped 16 points in the latest USA Today/Gallup polling.

Remember Obama’s Promise to Cut $100 Million in 90 Days?

Jonathan Weisman reports on the White House.

Three months ago, when President Barack Obama announced he was extracting $100 million in spending cuts from his cabinet secretaries, the reviews were not terribly kind, not with a budget well in excess of $3 trillion and a budget deficit shooting toward $1.8 trillion.

But the president had a deadline to keep: “As part of his commitment to go line by line through the budget to cut spending and reform government he will challenge his cabinet to cut a collective 100 million dollars in the next 90 days,” the White House fact sheet proclaimed.

Well, on this, the 91st day, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki and White House budget office spokesman Ken Baer released identical statements when queried about the results. “The recommendations have been gathered by the Cabinet Secretary who will be reporting them to the President shortly,” they said in separate responses. When pressed, Psaki said we should see the exact cuts “in the coming days.”

With Democrats blanching at tax increases to pay for national health care, and the deficit officially over $1 trillion, Obama may want to put a few extra zeros on the total.

There's an old sea story in the Navy about a ship's Captain who inspected his sailors, and afterward told the Chief Boson's Mate that his men smelled bad.

The Captain suggested perhaps it would help if the sailors would change underwear occasionally.

The Chief responded, "Aye, aye sir, I'll see to it immediately!"

The Chief went straight to the sailors berth deck and announced, "The Captain thinks you guys smell bad and wants you to change your underwear.

"Pittman, you change with Jones; McCarthy, you change with Witkowski; and Brown, you change with Schultz. Now get to it!!!"


THE MORAL:


Someone may be promising "Change" in Washington; but don't count on things smelling any better!

Where are the cuts? I'd really like to know, myself. He needs to come up with them very, very soon...the proverbial honeymoon is just about over where I'm concerned...

That said...if Obama crashes and burns, it won't be because of his birth certificate.

Good for you for speaking up, Alice.

If he ever was forced to provide his birth cert., which he hasn't contrary to what Liar Liar Gibbs on Fire says, he'd be shot down in flames. That's why he's doing all he can to keep it hidden.
