Demo-gogues

Barack Obama told the press this week, “We can’t make extortion routine as part of our democracy. Democracy doesn’t function this way. And this is not just for me; it’s also for my successors in office.” Memo to Barry: We are a Republic, not a democracy, and there is a difference in dissension and extortion. He later said, “[W]e’re not going to pay a ransom for America paying its bills. That’s something that should be non-negotiable, and everybody should agree on that. Everybody should say one of the most valuable things we have is America’s creditworthiness. This is not something we should even come close to fooling around with.” Mr. Obama conveniently forgets about that time he was against raising the debt ceiling because “Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally.” Of course, that was during a Bush presidency. He’s evolved since then.
