We will call you out….

One word: Wow!

The talking heads previewed President Obama’s speech to congress as an attempt to reach across party lines and find common ground on the health care reform issue.  It was anything but.  The President instead used every negative term he could cram onto his teleprompter to further divide and inflame the issue.  American citizens who have demonstrated their concerns were accused of using lies, distortions scare tactics and misinformation.  Could it be he was looking in a mirror when he wrote those words?  He finished by acting the playground bully, with his, "We will call you out." comment.

The best way to deal with a bully is to face him down.  We need to consider ourselves called out, then, and we need to respond by increasing our efforts to expose the massive hypocrisy that is this administration.

This provides a perfect example of the old axiom that absolute power corrupts absolutely.  They believe that their way is the only way, and because they control the White House and congress, they refuse to compromise.  The President chided Republicans for "having no plan", ignoring the members holding aloft their alternative legislation. The lapdog media, in their wrap-ups, called that a theatrical stunt, with one commentator stating that he suspected them to be only blank stacks of paper.

The Obama/Pelosi/Reid wagon is rolling headlong down the road to ruin with only arrogance in control, and we need to put on the brakes before it’s too late.

Mr. President, I am an American Citizen who has real concerns.  I consider myself "called out."
