Hear the words, but pay attention to the actions

I’m sensing a pattern here.

It’s either really deceitful or really naïve. One of the two.

Either way… it’s not good.

Let me show you what I mean.

The President has stated on numerous occasions that he wants to DECREASE the number of abortions. So to accomplish this goal he has increased the availability of abortions, increased government funding of abortions on a global scale, and hinted at removing protections for physicians who have a moral issue with abortion.

Ad this is supposed to decrease their frequency?

The President has also stated numerous times that he wants to stimulate the economy and produce jobs. In fact to back that up he pushed through a $787 BILLION dollar stimulus package. He also pushed toward tax penalties for companies that use off shore profits off shore. Of course he has not removed or reduced tax penalties for companies that make off shore profits and bring them back to the US, either. The only real alternative then is to move ALL operations off shore. Some companies, like say the one I work for, have over 50% of their business in Asia now thanks to the highly capitalistic movement by the Chinese. At the same time he has increased taxes on the upper income earners, making it even more appealing for companies to move their ENTIRE operation off shore.

If that weren’t enough the administration has been pushing for an economy killing cap and trade tax that everyone involved has admitted will lead to smaller profits for businesses, cuts in employment, and higher prices for the average American suffering through some very difficult economic times.

To put an exclamation point on this oxy-moronic position, you can look at the car companies. GM and Chrysler were both being CRUSHED by the UAW. So, what does the President do to stimulate the economy and produce or save jobs? He hands a majority of Chrysler over to the UAW along with a huge share of GM. He also says that he does NOT want to run a car company while firing the CEO of GM, buying up over 70% of the company, telling the car companies what kind of cars they are going to build by implanting new efficiency standards, and appointing a non-auto, auto task force to oversee the reorganization of not ONE, but TWO car companies who are now both in bankruptcy. To further create jobs he makes the car companies close thousands of dealerships and manufacturing plants

And this is supposed to save jobs?

Fortunately the President is honest and straight forward in some of his dealings. For instance he has promised that we will take a softer stance around the world and that we will bring our enemies to the table rather than confronting them head on. Along this line he has almost ignored the fact that North Korea detonated a nuclear bomb, launched several missiles and is preparing more, all while pulling out of the armistice that has been in place for over five decades. Iran as well has been backing up their rhetoric with actions and appears to be on the brink of achieving a nuclear weapon, which they insist they aren’t building, although they seem to speak of nothing else but obliterating one of our greatest allies in the world, Israel, from the map. The President now asserts that it is fine for Iran to continue this nuclear program and asserts that he understands that they have energy concerns that they need to deal with. Unfortunately it appears that none of his aids have informed him that Iran sits on BILLIONS of barrels of oil that it could be using to address any energy concerns. He also seems to ignore the anti-Semitic tripe coming from the President of Iran, but is willing to believe that they are doing all of this just so that they can develop peaceful nuclear energy.

Fortunately, the president never claimed that this strategy would make the world a safer place by undercutting or overwhelming our enemies.

Once again, hear the words, but pay attention to the actions.
