Janus-Faced Obama

Good ole Jonah Goldberg calls out Obama's two-faced talk in a well-cited USA Today opinion piece that pretty much says it all.

Here's a little taste but I always recommend you read Mr. Goldberg from start to finish!

No, seriously, try this with your boss sometime. First, go buy a Mercedes on the company credit card. Then tell him that you saved money because you were planning on buying a Lear Jet — two years after your mandatory retirement age. Then ask him for an attaboy, or even a raise. See what he says. I dare you.

Meanwhile, not a penny of the actual money raised under the Obama budget ever goes to reducing the deficit. It all goes to new or increased spending. Obama says that he and his team went "line by line" through the budget and found "$2 trillion in savings." But along with the fictional Iraq war savings, the bulk of the rest — a trillion dollars — comes from increased taxes.
