The artist or the viewer?

Speaking of promises…

Obama in Iowa: ‘Three Years Ago, cialis sovaldi sale We Made a Promise. That Promise Has Been Kept.’

Well, I guess that proves he’s at least capable of keeping a promise. You wouldn’t know it from this:

Then there is Obama’s chronic dissimulation. Most Americans were indifferent rather than outraged when Obama became the first presidential candidate to renounce public campaign financing in the general election — despite both earlier promises that he would not, and later crocodile tears over the Supreme Court’s rollback of some public-financing rules.

Perhaps most Americans also were only mildly irked that Obama demagogued the Bush anti-terror protocols during the campaign, only to continue unchanged precisely those practices that he had most fiercely railed against — tribunals, renditions, Predators, the continuing presence in Iraq.

And perhaps most Americans did not believe Obama when he promised to close Guantanamo within a year and to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in a civilian court in New York — and they were right. These too were isolated Obama untruths.

Then some of us were troubled that Obama had once decried passage of health-care reform by mere 51 percent majorities — only to do precisely that last weekend. Candidate Obama likewise damned the use of executive orders to countermand legislative action — and then did just that on matters of abortion and Obamacare. Chalk it up to the Chicago style of the ends justifying any means necessary.

So was anyone surprised that the health-care bill did not sit on the president’s desk for five days before the signing, as he once bragged would be the new administration’s policy, for reasons of transparency? And wasn’t that reminiscent of his continued, but reneged on, pledges to air all the health-care debates on C-SPAN?

I could go on and on, but again the pattern is clear. Each time Obama prevaricates, we grant him an exemption because of his lofty rhetoric about bipartisanship and his soothing words about unity. Only later do we notice that in retrospect each untruth is part of a pattern of dissimulation within just a single year of governance. Obama has proven so far that in fact one can fool a lot of the people a lot of the time.

If you viagra buy pharmacy 0, shop 6966492.story”>take a bad loan, viagra the Feds will bail you out.

The only people who don’t get bailed out are the ones who didn’t do anything stupid.

They get to be the ones who do all the bailing…which is pretty stupid when you come to think about it.

Sometimes, I just don’t understand people

With the passage of the health care reform bill, viagra generic site CNN has been flooded with viewer questions about specifics of the measure and how their lives may be affected.

Wouldn’t the best time to ask questions have been BEFORE the bill passed?
