Obama hypocrisy a threat

Sat., June 23, 2012

Any president whose actions so consistently refute his own words must have deep contempt for the intelligence of the American public. This sitting president seems to have the strategy of punishing success and subsidizing failure. The Democrat leadership from top to bottom is the essence of hypocrisy. Under the guise of helping the poor, they enslave them; under the guise of freedom, they take away our liberty; and under the guise of justice they profess to give it to some while denying it to others. This so-called leadership from the top down must go this election in order to preserve our Constitution and the American way of life.
