Obama's Actions Compared to His Words

Earlier this week, President Obama tried to blame the soaring deficits on his predecessor, George Bush. 

"It’s like somebody goes to a restaurant, orders a big steak dinner — martini, all that stuff — and then, just as you’re sitting down, they leave and accuse you of running up the tab."
-- President Obama, June 2012.

Really?

Actually, President Obama, it's like somebody goes to a restaurant, orders a big steak dinner -- martini, all that stuff -- and then you sit down, order two more huge steaks, a couple of lobsters and a round of martinis for everyone at the bar and then leave, leaving the bill to your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. This is the more appropriate analogy, Mr. President.

President Obama's talking points about the steak dinner shows just how out of touch with the truth he really is.  The truth is that the debt has increased more in Obama's three-plus years than it did in Bush's eight years.

But this isn't the only whopper our Campaigner in Chief has espoused in recent weeks about his spending habits.  

"My opponent won’t admit it, but it’s starting to appear in places, like real liberal outlets, like the Wall Street Journal: Since I’ve been president, federal spending has risen at the lowest pace in nearly 60 years."
-- President Obama, May 2012

Unbelieveable.

The truth is that even if you give President Obama every possible benefit of "Democrat fuzzy math" -- including moving all outlays in FY2009 made by the Obama Administration to the Bush Administration -- Obama increased spending by a whopping 24 percent.

Obama has not been truthful with Americans about his spending habits and intentions, almost from the day he was elected.

“Today, I’m pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we’ve long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay — and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control."
-- President Obama, February 2009

Three years and $6 trillion in additional debt later, President Obama continues to try to make uninformed voters believe he's not a big spender. 

Let's hope that the majority of voters take the time to search for the truth, instead of taking anything he says at face value.
