God or Demagogue - we have the answer.

On September 8 of this year, Obama presented his America Jobs Act during a joint session of congress. 24 hours later, he was on the campaign trail, criticizing the GOP for standing in the way of passing this bill into law.

In the United States, proposals are sent to congress, where they are hammered out in committee meetings, voted and approved in one house and sent to the other house where they are, again, put into committee and finally voted on and approved. During this legislative process, each bill is analyzed by the Congressional Budget Office for financial viability. The House version of a particular bill is nearly always different from the Senate version. Consequently, members from both houses meet to reconcile the two versions, and after all is said and done, the bill is sent to the president for signing. There is more to the process, but this is the 1.0 version.

Understand, there is no other path to legislative completion.

The healthcare bill (ObamaCare) took well over a year. The Dodd/Frank finance reform bill (H.R. 4173) was introduced into congress on 12/ 01/09 and signed into law on July 20, 2010, seven months after introduction.

Obama's jobs bill was just presented to the Senate and the House . . . . . this week. There has been no committee assessments nor has the bill been reviewed by the CBO, as required by law. When Obama starts "ragging" on the GOP about a bill that has no Democrat sponsors and has not even begun its legislative process, whether in the House or in the Democrat controlled Senate. We have no reason to think he is not merely trying to score political points with his constituency.

If you are a Democrat reading this post, you have no choice but to agree with our assessment. Since the bill has not been formally introduced or scored, the only explanation for Obama's criticism of the GOP is "demagoguery."

A second example is found in Obama's criticism of the GOP for booing a gay soldier who was choosen by Fox News to ask a question at the most recent GOP debate. Here is what this clown had to say:

“We don’t believe in a small America,” Obama told the Human Rights Campaign, a prominent gay rights group, in a speech Saturday. “We don‘t believe in the kind of smallness that says it’s okay for a stage full of political leaders — one of whom could end up being the president of the United States — being silent when an American soldier is booed.”

They were silent because they did not hear the boos. The fact is this, there were only two people who booed, in an audience of 5,000. Megyn Kelly, one of the media members asking questions to the candidates, told listeners on her show that she, in fact, did not hear the boos.
When the incident (and it could not have been more minor) was made known to the candidates, all condemn the action. Again, Obama has decided to demagogue an incident that involved 2 people out of 5,000, and uses the actions of the two to typify the larger crowd.

And, to think, we get to listen to this kind of trash talk from one of the most unprofessional presidents in our history.
