Obama Reminds Missouri He Treats Tax Dollars Like Monopoly Money
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, March 12, 2010, 5:23 AM
Barack Obama tripled the national deficit his first year in office. It will be larger this year.
Obama dropped his monopoly line again this week while he was in St. Charles, Missouri at his health care rally in front of supporters and campaign contributors (he locked out the public):
As we were driving in, I was saying, boy, it’s just good to be back in the Midwest, this is about as close as I’ve been to home in a while. And part of the reason it’s just good to be back is because Washington is a place where tax dollars are often treated like Monopoly money — they’re bartered and traded, and they’re divvied up among lobbyists and special interests, and where waste — even billions of dollars of waste — is accepted as the price of doing business. When we proposed, by the way, those $20 billion in cuts last year, we were ridiculed by the press, said, “Ah, that’s just a spit in the bucket.” Now, I don’t know about here in St. Charles, $20 billion, that’s real money, isn’t it?
Reason says this is an example of a “gag-inducing paragraph.”
The last time Obama used his “Monopoly” line was the same day he proposed another record spending bill that cost taxpayers $3.8 trillion and raised the national deficit to $1.6 trillion.
And, on December 21, 2009 he said the same thing about taxpayer dollars:
“We can’t continue to spend as if deficits don’t have consequences; as if waste doesn’t matter; as if the hard-earned tax dollars of the American people can be treated like Monopoly money.”
This was the same day that democrats spent $1.2 billion to bribe fellow democrats to vote for Obamacare.

The truth and Barcky, never the twain shall meet!

Said the man who just ran up the largest deficit ever for a single month & is on pace to break it in March…
I guess we can take solace that it wasn’t leap year or it would have been 6 billion more… ;>}

Yes, $20 billion is indeed real money, but not quiet as real as $2 trillion!

Just keeping the peasants really hacked off at you huh Barry. Pitch forks and torches out the window coming for YOU. powder is dry.

I wish he would treat our money like Monopoly money.
The best strategy in Monopoly is to buy with cash. In Monopoly, the only debt you can run is a mortgage vs property you already own, which was bought with cash.
Dusty commented:
You realize he does this to mock the public’s inability to do much of anything about his flagrant dismantling of the country.
He is laughing at you, people.

Clearly establishes what this man is – a serial liar who means to force his agenda on us. Who is to say for, example, if the House manages to bully enough people into passing the senate health obomination, that once he signs that into law, he then vetoes any change to it. He gets what he wants – Abortion, Sops to unions, kickbacks to a few states, and purchase of insurance by us, or else! Along with the wrecking of the best healthcare system in the world.
Repeal would be a long path – Gain Republican majorities in both houses, predidential vetoes until 2012, and finally, maybe, a president who will allow repeal of the bill. Would have to retain both houses until then as well.
Make sure your representatives know where we the people stand.!

Yep, it is. It makes me gag.

O-bow-mao has raised bald-faced lying to an art form.
I can’t believe he could find 400 people in St.Charles, MO to stand there and clap at his self-projecting lies. A mental institution must have been emptied out for that one.

America is now set up so that honest black men toil in the shadows while every black con man rises to prominience. Obama is the biggest jive act in American history. Almost everything that comes out of this liar’s teleprompter is the exact opposite of what he actually believes and does.
The Section VIII parasites and the even bigger parasites in the public-employee unions, who are all waiting on their Obama Money, know the real agenda. The rest of America bought into the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the body politic.

Do we need to fill out our census forms or answer the door for the census worker?

Teachable moment in hopichangie…
Greg commented:
Does anyone doubt that this is the first President in history who could care less about what he says being consistent with what he does? Let’s be honest here. His actions often betray his words. What does this mean in reality? He is either a significant liar or he suffers from a significant mental disorder. Or both.
Teardrop commented:
I figure that the following theory has been hypothesized before, but I will throw my theory out there and see what others have to say about it.
Here it is:
Obama is purposely pushing as many of our True Blue
American buttons as he possibly can, in the hopes of causing us to do exactly what we are doing….
We are uprising against him.
He WANTS us to revolt…..so that he can declare Marshal law and thereby become the “Dicktater” (misspelled on purpose) he truly wants to be. The socialist society will be the end result.
I think that he wants to have a reason to kill off as many true Americans as he possibly can…and the scares the beegeesus out of me!!
Just my theory.

Jumbalaya,
According to the Constitution, you only have to answer ‘how many people live at your residence?’
