Oct. 24, 2011 - PPM - Political Hypocrites

This week's PET PEEVE MONDAY (PPM) was submitted by Jabberwocker, Kentucky Kim.

I agree with the below quote: THEN and NOW

The only problem is that the politician who originally made the statement, must suffer from short term memory loss. An affliction that is too prevalent in Washington and should be "terminal." At least, to their political careers.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America 's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."

~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006



We can always, HOPE for CHANGE in 2012!!!
