President Obama said 'the war in Iraq was successfully over which removed the evil dictator Saddam Husein who for over a decade racked havit on his people and our nation'. (We listened to him and all the Democrats condemn this war since its inception.) I guess he didn't send out his talking points to all his democrat talking heads who continue to say that the war in Iraq was the worst mistake in US history (Ariana Huffington on CNN last Sunday). Obama wants to keep taking more money for people to pay for government projects (except for the military that has been successful). He says we all want a smarter, smaller government.
Who does he think he fooling?
Obama's only budget since he has been President:
