Of course we should not be surprised at anything that comes out of his mouth, but comments this week by Barack Obama (or whatever his name is) were simply stunning. Not only were they stunning, but they were chilling. When he issued a thinly veiled threat to the Supreme Court concerning their ruling on the atrocious Obamacare legislation, we saw a brazen, boorish, wanna-be dictator showing his ugly, arrogant face.
Here is part of what he said,
Ultimately, Im confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress. And Id just remind conservative commentators that for years what weve heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. Well, this is a good example. And Im pretty confident that this Court will recognize that and not take that step.
Lies. There is nothing unprecedented about the Supreme Court overturning unconstitutional legislation. They have been doing it for over 200 years. He lies about the definition of judicial activism. Judicial activism is a very real problem in our nation, and it has been a problem for many years now. Judicial activism occurs when judges depart from constitutional law and create new laws contrary to the Constitution, and that happens all too often. Judges who uphold the Constitution are not judicial activists, but of course, Obama never lets the truth get in the way of his outrageous assertions.
Speaking of outrageous assertions, did you hear what Obama said about the Paul Ryan GOP budget?
As reported by Real Clear Politics,
We wouldn't have the capacity to enforce the laws that protect the air we breathe, the water we drink, or the food that we eat. Cuts to the FAA would likely result in more flight cancellations, delays and the complete elimination of air traffic control services in parts of the country. Over time, our weather forecasts would become less accurate because we wouldn't be able to afford to launch new satellites and that means governors and mayors would have to wait longer to order evacuations in the event of a hurricane. That's just a partial sampling of the consequences of this budget.
This is simply breathtaking. This man has never met a lie he is not willing to tell. Absolutely nothing in that statement is true. There is no government agency or program that could not stand budget cutseven huge budget cuts. If we could truly analyze the waste and redundancy and then eliminate them, we would be amazed at the money we could save while still having good weather forecasting, air traffic control services and air, food and water safety. Give me a break, Obama! He sounds desperate.
But, is he really desperate? When you consider the hot-mic, after my election, I will have more flexibility remarks he recently made to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, it would seem that Obama is quite confident that he will be reelected.
We may wonder how he can be so sure of himself. There is no doubt that Obama is unpopular, despite the polling results being constantly released by Obama-fawning media outlets that show close to half the nation approves of his terrible, treasonous performance in office.
