In Class, Obama Doesn't Hold A Candle To Bush

Last Thursday, a radical Muslim extremist walked into a building packed with unarmed American soldiers, jumped up on a table, and shouted, “Allahu Akbar!” (Allah is great!) and started shooting. When the gunfire was brought to an abrupt halt by a courageous policewoman, 13 people had died and 41 were wounded.

Less than 24 hours following this treasonous attack, President Obama warned the country, “Not to jump to conclusions.” This from the President who firmly jumped with both feet into a controversy by saying Cambridge Police “acted stupidly” in the arrest of his friend. I don’t know if we’re still not supposed to jump to any conclusions, but considering facts that have been revealed, some of which have been known by the CIA for as long as six months, make the conclusion about as much of a jump as stepping over a chalk line.

Less than 24 hours later, President Obama, addressing the Democratic caucus before the PelosiCare vote, President Obama, according to Democratic Congressman, Earl Blumenauer, said the following: “Does anybody think that the teabag, anti-government people are going to support them if they bring down health care? All it will do is confuse and dispirit [Democratic voters] and it will encourage the extremists.

Even disregarding the pornographic epithet of “teabaggers” (which use, incidentally seems to have started with the news anchor, Anderson Cooper, of that “real” news network, CNN), this is a frankly offensive statement. Mr. “Let’s Not Jump to Conclusions” is branding anyone who doesn’t support the Congress’s radical care takeover (which, incidentally, according to the most recent polls, is the majority of the country), extremists and anti-government.

This shouldn’t be surprising. The President has already called Americans who have opposed his policies liars, Nancy Pelosi has called people expressing their opposition to the health care “Un-American”, and Harry Reid has called them “Evil-mongers”. These are not political pundits. These are the top three Democrats in Washington openly expressing their contempt for those people who would oppose their policies. It is clear that they feel that the American people are to, as the President puts it, “Get out of the way . . . and don’t do a lot of talking.”

There were a lot of things to dislike about George W. Bush’s policies, but you didn’t see him disparaging the citizens like this. When it comes to grace and class, Bush had more in his little finger than Obama does in his entire body. Of course, almost everybody does.
