Sign of Things to Come?

In one of those "news analysis" pieces in which the mainstream media cloaks their own opinions, CNN has expressed their doubts about the Presipromptor's "I will take responsibility" comments for the AIG bonuses:

(CNN) -- President Obama topped a town hall appearance Wednesday by claiming responsibility for the bonuses paid out to executives at the bailed-out insurance giant American International Group, saying, "I'm outraged, too."

Cushioned by high approval ratings, analysts said Obama can emerge from this controversy relatively unscathed, but there's only so many times he can get away with saying, "Blame me."

And there's this from one of CNN's own:

In Obama's case, "blame me" is political code for "move on," said Candy Crowley, CNN's senior political correspondent.

Cynicism creeping in?

Obama is, and always has been, a complete FRAUD. This is not news.

Accordingly, he selected like-minded frauds to assist in his national ripoff.

Add the three headed partisan monster Nancy Pelosi and the other self-serving frauds in the beltway, and this country is headed down fast.

Obama, et al, care ONLY about expanding their power and personal wealth, and will do so at the expense of our lives and liberties. This is very say fact.
