The First Hypocrite

the Obama goes on the tube tonight, for the billionth time, to try and justify to the American people why it took him over three months to make a decision about sending new troops to Afghanistan. Ostensibly his blather will be about the War in Afghanistan, but the real theme will be about how to pay for the war. Now one would not normally be upset if the president said that this war is costing real money and we need to find a way to pay for it, so I propose a small increase in our income tax. But, now with the economy the number one thing on American's minds and the vast squandering of our tax monies that the Obama and his minions in congress are already engaged in, it is hard to stomach the hypocricy. I would be happy to see my taxes go up a bit to pay for this important war, but not when they are going to go through the roof because of his health care tax. Americans don't want government run health care, they want jobs and job security and they won't have the latter if the former happens. Already trillions are flowing out of the economy to pay for the Obama's socialist agenda, Americans can little afford more theft of their incomes to pay for the health care debabcle. The real decision the Obama needs to make is, Do the right thing in Afghanistan or the wrong thing with health care?

Update: Earlier, when I said that the president is going on the tube to justify his failure to make a decision months ago about Afghanistan, I was only partly right. He is trying to justify his indecision but more importantly, even beyond the tax increase theme, is his need to rationalize his decision to his leftist base. The majority of Americans don't need convincing that sending more troops to Afghanistan is the right thing, but there is the Obama's base, the socialist left - majority of Obamacrats in congress and the kook left, that he needs to play to. To most observers of this administration it is quite obvious that the Obama does nothing without approval from the extreme left. I cannot help himself - it is the tragedy of being socialist, one is but does not understand that they are - because they are so immersed, so brain washed that they are unable to see outside of their own little bubble.
