In an attempt to have his cake and eat it too, Obama has nationalized the cake baking industry.  Ok maybe I made that up, but Obama certainly seems to want things both ways.  Whether it\’s naivety that he doesn\’t realize the disconnect, or else it\’s arrogance that he think he can have things both ways, it\’s become a pattern already.  Since he willfully continues it despite the presence of the internet, which has changed the game, I have to assume it\’s arrogance.  And his arrogance is appalling.

Stimulus was supposed to stimulate immediately, then it was supposed to stimulate in the long run. but then it was never supposed to stimulate, only stabilize.  Rushing bills through Congress are bad, until Obama has to do it.  First prepackaged news from the White House is bad, but Obama having his own television studio is okay.  Government officials should first be held to a high standard, but Obama\’s staff meets no standard at all.  First earmarks are bad, now earmarks are good.  Obama can lecture us about having to sacrifice, but he excesses beyond reasonable.  First he was a single-payer health care supporter, now he never was.  First they want people to spam others with White House propaganda, now they don\’t.

Virtually everything Obama says is eventually spun 180 degrees when it doesn\’t pan out for him or goes belly up entirely.  Not only does every Obama promise come with an expiration date, but it comes with a complete reversal.  Which would be bad enough, he\’s a politician after all, hardly an occupation known for it\’s reliability and integrity.  But with each reversal comes with a complete denial that it is a reversal, or that this hasn\’t been the position all along.  Again this would be a relatively minor demonstration of arrogance, except that this is the 21st century, we have the internet.  The internet, in addition to being the best porn distribution system that Al Gore ever designed, also make it easy to archive and track down virtually every thing that has ever been written down.  So now when a politician tries to claim a completely different position that he did last week, it\’s the height of arrogance to believe they can whitewash the public enough that they won\’t believe their own lying eyes.

This administration and it\’s liberal cronies have been labeled as having a culture of corruption, or a culture of incompetence.  I think most worrying is the culture of arrogance permeating everything this administration does.
