The Obama administration is now claiming that if we adopt sequestration illegal aliens and terrorists will flood across our southern border. Terrorists, perhaps, but illegal aliens are more likely to be heading south, because there are actually jobs in Mexico. I wonder if even the liberal left will buy this nonsense.
Obama is acting desperate. He is used to Republicans folding like a cheap umbrella while the main stream media cheers in the background. He is used to getting away with blatant lies, about nearly everything, because no on in the main stream media seems to care. But this time few are buying the lie that this was all a nefarious republican plot to starve the poor. For one thing, Bob Woodward is on a mission to set the record straight. In addition, I think a lot of people have financial crisis fatigue.
It sure looks like a lot of Republicans have had it with Obama and his histrionics. This is like the kid who throws one too many temper tantrums. The parents finally learn to say no and they are shocked to discover how good it feels.
It just seems to me like the whole Obama mystic is wearing a little thin. It is hard for me to evaluate this, because I get nauseated at the thought of seeing him speak. But Michelle Obama’s decision to crash the Oscars bordered on surreal. She was surrounded by token military personnel she never bothered to mention. The whole thing screamed of “me, it’s all about me.” This brought political grandstanding to a whole new level. Sometimes, it is a short distance between class and crass.
