Liberal Hypocrisy

This past week, President Obama signed the bill he--along with his fellow Democrats--hopes will change the economic outlook from bleak to manageable. Whether or not the bill gives us the essential shot in the arm, it is clear that he and his party have become the party of hypocrites. How so?

The bill was rushed to be approved. As evidenced on Mike Huckabee's show on February 14, the 1,000-page document was not readable at a normal pace in the time allotted to the Senate and House members. Hence, it leads me to believe that not one Congressperson read the document in full. Even if they had time to peruse the entire bill, I highly doubt anyone stopped to make a note of any misappropriated funds. Instead, like liberals complained about regarding the Iraq war, this country has rushed into a large-scale response to a conflict. Former President Bush was chastised incessantly by the Left after his haste decision to go to war; Obama will surely get a free pass.

On top of that, Leftists complained that the Bush administration left us in the largest budget deficit in history. Obama's plan for change? Let's spend another trillion bucks we can't afford to pay back. Looks like the only hint of bipartisanship out there is that both the Bush and Obama administrations favored deficit spending. When Bush spends, the Libs complain; when Obama spends--you guessed it--he gets a free pass.

Liberal = Hypocrite.
