The Obama Earmark Generation

For months and months passionate people waved signs and shouted, "Bush Lied! Kids Died!"

The mantra was loud and pervasive. Even those in congress on the Democrat side of the aisle backtracked, backpedalled and started speaking out against the war, even though they were on public record as having supported President Bush and the war in Iraq just weeks before.

Here at American Revolution, we can only sit back and chuckle at the dunderheads in our nation's capital. In Washington, everytime they're about to lie or say the exact opposite of what they said before, they preface their statement with "Let me be clear..." Let me be clear? Why? Weren't you clear before? I guess not... So Washington, what are you saying? Are you saying that we SHOULDN'T listen to you the first time, because we know that you will soon "be clear" and say the opposite of what you just said?

Bush lied, kids died. Ok, if you say so. As they say in court, "I'll stipulate..."

On the flipside, our new President has lied. It's time for a new mantra:

"Obama lied, pork not fried!"

During his campaign, President Obama made a campaign pledge to put a BAN on earmarks. Well, (get ready, wait for it...) "Let me be clear...!"

Obama just did a 180 degree reversal on his pledge. You can search for it on the internet as much as you like, but here's one quick link: http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourworld/politics/articles/obama_backs_off_earmark_pledge.html?CMP=KNC-360I-GOOGLE-BULL&HBX_OU=50&HBX_PK=earmarks

More recently, when questioned about other "changes" in execution of his administrations plans that appeared to be contrary to what he told his adoring masses during his campaign, Obama replied, "That was campaign rhetoric..."

So, I guess that means that politicians, all politicians -- Democrat and Republican, feel it is their perogative to lie during their campaign?

Washington! Listen up! This is exactly what the American people are sick of!

Obama said he would put a ban on earmarks but then signs a bill laden with pork! You sir, are a liar! And so is every other politician who says one thing and does another!

To your chagrin, Washington, there are video recorders, cell phone movies etc. You can no longer say one thing and do another without people being able to produce proof that you lied.

Your sin will be found out. The American people are tired and they are hurting. Like a wounded animal, they will strike back viciously.

Politicians, be on notice: We here in the blogosphere are watching.

Join the American Revolution... Stay tuned.
