The current occupant of the White House and his unindicted co-conspirators can’t seem to get their lies straight. Their versions of the alleged killing of Osama Bin Ladin are conflicting, contradictory, and constantly changing. And the biggest lie of all is that Obama-Soetoro had jack to do with the operation. In one of the most disgusting displays of narcissistic braggadocio I have ever had the bad fortune to witness, the Prevaricator-in-Chief gave one of his most egregious I-Me-I-Me harangues, claiming total credit for the obvious hard, patriotic work of many of his betters, including the hated George W. Bush. Enough to make a maggot puke.

Then, he claims he doesn’t want to offend the sensibilities of Muslims by releasing pictures of the dead murderer of 3,000 Americans. This from a provocateur who, in 2009, released, 2,000 pictures of the nonsense at Abu Graib prison. These pictures were gar-on-teed to get the Islamists rioting in the streets again, far more that pix of a dead, symbolic, has-been.

This killing appears to be an act intentionally aimed at distracting Americans concerned about the Usurper’s destruction of America – the tail wagging the dog – at a time when the Head Fool’s popularity is in the tank. The Clown-in-Chief, it has been reported, has known since last August that Bin Ladin was in Islamabad, but chose to wait until now to do anything. He thinks he can amateurishly create diversions that will make people think he’s a macho patriot, instead of the anti-American buffoon that he has shown himself to be. Even Democrats who voted for him, and are thus, arguably stoopid, are waking up to the fact that Obama-Soetoro is an incompetent fraud.

With the economy on the brink of the second dip of a double dip recession, brought on by the looting of the treasury and wild, uncontrolled borrowing and spending by the government, the Oh-So-Clever-One thinks he can distract the public into not noticing our imminent demise as an economically viable nation. This winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, who has a war going in Iraq, a war going in Afghanistan, an undeclared war in Libya, who tried to murder a foreign head of state there, but only succeeded in murdering Ghadafi’s son and grandchildren, and has just unilaterally invaded a sovereign nation, and by his administration’s account, did so without its consent or knowledge (although this smells like more big lies), to murder a foreign national, wants us to believe he’s an honorable hero, acting in the best interests of the American people? Why, then, when the military decided the time was ripe to take Bin Ladin out, did it take Mr. Brilliant 16 hours to decide to act? Heesh…Only the “mainstream” media have less credibility than Pinocchio on the Potomac.

One of the issues Obama-Soetoro and his Marxist lackeys fear most is that people will realize that the high gas and oil prices that are driving inflation are the direct result of Democrat policies. A tip off might be the Energy Secretary publicly stating that he really, really, wants to see gas prices at least at $8.00 a gallon. Another might be a long statement commemorating “Earth Day,” a Democrat religious holy day, but not a peep to American Christians on Easter. Environmentalists and Marxists…sorry…I repeat myself…have nearly ruined the country. In the news Obama-Soetoro wants to distract us from is the fact that, by calculations from a number of sources, including government agencies, the Good Ol’ U.S.A. has more oil reserves than the rest of the world. Combined. We have enough untapped oil resources to supply our energy needs for the next 2,000 years, and then some.

Unfortunately, through the hard work and persistence of radical environmentalists and their Democrat fellow travelers, exploiting these sources has been put, statutorily, off limits. We could be totally energy self-sufficient, with oil costing about $16 a barrel, but we have been conned into passing laws that have allowed activist left-wing judges and environmentalist Democrats to make this illegal. Could this be the reason that OPEC as so generously funded environmentalists over the years?

Instead, the sleight of hand liars in the White House and the appallingly corrupt Eric Holder and his “Justice” Department are trying to attack the oil companies. The American people are to blame, by driving pickup trucks and SUVs, using incandescent light bulbs, and not keeping the air pressure in our tires at the precisely correct level.

I am sick and tired of being constantly and blatantly lied to by my government. I am sick and tired of being marginalized, insulted, and ignored by the radical Marxists and neo-fascists who have taken over my government – e.g., amnesty is back; we are in a new, undeclared war that is not our interests; they are about to raise the debt ceiling, even though it will likely bring down the entire economy; they are pandering to the gay lobby, Big Unions, and the U.N.; the “Justice” Department is going after the people who made Obama-Soetoro’s only positive accomplishment – finding bin Ladin – possible; and there is constant, unconstitutional meddling in the affairs of the States. My government is no longer mine, nor is it my friend…
