"I Wish I Could Write A Check," Says Bama

This is perhaps the most telling moment of who Bama really is that we've been allowed to see during his interminable campaignery.

He was in New Orleans yesterday giving a speech to another one of those highly-controlled favorable crowds, and the crowd wants to get paid, so Bama blurts out, "I wish I could write a check." Someone in the crowd yells out, "Why not?"

Now before I get to his answer - and believe me it's worth the wait - the very fact that he said what he said shows the true depth of his fanatical liberalism and disconnect from economic reality. You might think, that's just something people say, he doesn't really mean he wants to just write a check. Yes he does!! Bama wishes he could just write checks for everything without regard to any kind of review process. Writing checks is an exercise in power, and Bama is a power-corrupt megalomaniac. Also, he knows people want to get paid, and for Democrats, support = paybacks = continued support.

At this point in the event Bama has wandered well off the teleprompter and into was is for him a minefield of inept response, but he starts his answer anyway. The audio is linked below. By the way, if you start Googling the speech and read what the major news outlets are reporting and then hear it for yourself, you'll quickly see how abysmally he's being quoted in an effort to cover his stupidity. MSNBC, for example, quotes the question but leaves his response completely off, but anyone who doesn't know NBC is in the tank for Bama is brain dead.

So someone asks why not, and Bama starts stuttering his reply, and you can almost hear the voice in his head saying, "Uh oh, now what?" So he says, “Well, you know there’s this whole thing about the Constitution and Congress and… you know… I uh… Not to mention the fact that, you know, I’m always, (stutters), one of the interesting things you find out about being president is, ah, everybody will attack you for spending money, unless you’re spending it on them.” (Applause from idiots)

My first thought was, this guy still has no idea what it means to be president - he's still campaigning, not leading. Also, it's more obvious every day just how unprepared he and everyone around him was and still is to be leading this country. Finally, his statement is just wrong; conservatives do not want Bama to spend money on us, period. We don't need his handout. Only liberals want Obama money, and as evidenced in the Q&A in New Orleans, they all want to get paid, and yeah, they're pissed off when others are getting paid and they're not. They all want that Obama money, just like in Detroit.

"Obama on defense in New Orleans"

The crowd was gracious to Bama, even though he has given them nothing but empty promises, err, hope, and booed governor Jindal, who has done more to reshape the mess that is Louisiana than any other politician in that state's history. It's funny how desperately people want Bama to be the messiah, and it's all his fault. Bama allowed himself to be packaged that way and was all too happy to roll with it and started to believe his own praise. That's the real problem with this guy and all of his followers - their near total disconnect from reality.
