Cousin Milton Wolf opens up a can of whoop ass on the President and his failures...

WOLF: Liberals' unmaking of Barack Obama - Washington Times
Is President Obama really a different man today than he was before he entered the Oval Office? The same Illinois legislator who voted present 129 times is now the debt-crisis-AWOL president who refused to present a specific plan of his own. The same presidential candidate who wanted to spread the wealth has unleashed redistributionist, collectivist policies on everything from health care and energy supply to runaway Keynesian spending and ever-increasing taxes. Should we be surprised?
Consider the results thus far of the Obama presidency:
Two million-private sector jobs have been lost
Unemployment jumped from 7.8 to 9.2 percent with a simply terrible 2011 first-quarter economic growth rate of just 0.4 percent
A record 1 in 7 Americans is on food stamps
Gasoline prices more than doubled, from $1.83 to $3.74 per gallon
National debt increased 35 percent, to $14.5 trillion, or $137,000 for each taxpayer
National unfunded liabilities increased 47 percent, to $114.9 trillion, or a cool $1 million for each taxpayer (and this does not yet include Obamacare)
America is on the verge of losing its AAA credit rating.
How else besides trickery could Mr. Obama further an agenda so unpopular with voters? Witness the dishonesty:
The stimulus would keep unemployment below 8 percent
Stimulus funds would go to shovel-ready jobs
Obamacare would create 4 million new jobs - 400,000 almost immediately
You could keep your own doctor
The presidents mother was denied health insurance
Obamanomics would mean a net spending cut.
So, as the liberal presidency of Mr. Obama becomes increasingly indefensible, the liberal is faced with an unthinkable dilemma: acknowledge the fundamental failure of his collectivist liberal philosophy, which tends toward socialism, or blame its failures on a single man whom, until just recently, the liberal deified.
In the end, Barack Obamas failures as president are not because he couldnt faithfully execute the liberal collectivist philosophy - he ushered in the Obamacare era, after all - his failures are instead because he bought into the failed philosophy in the first place.
