Moderate? as I recall, he wants to add about a $1 trillion more to the budget over the next four years, and he’ll busily set about raising taxes, probably starting with a $0.50 increase in gas taxes.

How, exactly, is any of that going to help the “little guy”? or anyone else, for that matter? or do you think that with some “hope” and “change” we can tax our way into prosperity?

I read that same article this morning. Why am I not surprised by this?

I also read articles elsewhere about Republicans who are coming out of the woodwork in support of Obama. A big supporter of Obama is a guy who was, at one time, a member of the Reagan administration: Lawrence Korb.

The more I follow politics, the more I am struck by the widespread and insidious dishonesty among the population. Not just important people. Very ordinary people as well – all pretend to be something they are not for a variety of reasons. Many people in government or influential establishments pretend to be something they are not in order to advance their careers.

Many ordinary people, like myself, disguise ourselves when around liberals/Leftists so that they won’t pick fights with us or put knives in our backs. I work in the financial services industry and, surprisingly, most of my co-workers are liberal and even Leftist. I avoid talking about politics like the plague; when the topic comes around to it and those people are holding forth about their views, I just slightly nod my head and pretend to have no objections to them, so that these people won’t backstab me at work. But I know who I am and what I truly think. It’s sad and I am not proud of my cowardice, but I know human nature too well and have experienced being backstabbed by people many years ago. I learned my lessons from it.

Thirty years ago I used to be on the Left. I know how these people are and the truth about them is UGLY. They can be doctrinaire, didactic, and even bullying. I’m not alone in this experience, as I’ve met plenty of folks with similar experiences and impressions.

So, we are in a country where a lot of people are pretending to be something they are not for many reasons. Obama is pretending to be a centrist when the truth is clear: he is the most Far Left candidate for high office this country has ever seen.

(via Hot Air) Politico exposes Barack Obama in another whopper. Is the media really ready to take the shine off their golden Messiah?
During his first run for elected office, Barack Obama played a greater role than his aides now acknowledge in crafting…

Think about it: they have the media, the educational establishment and institutions, most of the legal profession, and a heavy weight of the NGO’s and transnational Progressives in support. The Left has become formidable in the United States and those who deny it or underestimate it do so rather foolishly.

A short recon of what’s out there that might draw your attention, updated throughout the day…so check back often….

How all this shifting sand works out is anybodys guess.
