Oh, the audacity

I am almost tired of writing about the hypocrisy of the Democrats and liberals in this country, "almost" being the operative word here. It just never ends, do they not even see it, or do they just not care?

The latest example I speak about is President Obama's recent attendance at a fundraiser. He spent the week before, himself condemning Wall Street executives for giving themselves huge bonuses, and then sent out his "pit bull" Rahm Emanuel to disparage them on the Sunday talk shows.

Then, President Obama goes to New York city to host that fundraiser at the Mandarin Hotel. The majority of people attending this fundraiser, and paying a minimum of $15,000 a plate, were Wall Street executives and personnel. What was the subject of the president's speech that evening? The subject was the greed of Wall Street! He actually had the nerve to chastise them about greed, as he was accepting their millions in donations! It had to be a joke, he couldn't have been serious, could he? Don't get me wrong, something is wrong on Wall St., but the irony of the president scolding them for their greed on one hand, and with the other accepting their money, is beyond words.

And, please don't get me started on the subject of the White Houses' attack on Rush Limbaugh, and Fox News. If someone disagrees with the president now, they get attacked and black listed. Sounds kind of like what former president Richard Nixon did. And we know how Democrats and liberals reacted to that. They say Rush Limbaugh is divisive? Has anyone watched the all-star lineup on MSMBC of Chris Matthews, Lawrence O'Donnell, David Shuster, Ed Shultz, Rachel Maddow, and Keith Olbermann? The hate and contempt being spewed by these people is unbelivable.

President Obama titled one of his many books incorrectly. His "The Audacity Of Hope", should have been called, "I Have The Audacity, You Have No Hope".
