What Obama Should Be Told

Thanks to The Pajama Underground for posting the video of Daniel Hannan, MEP, at the U.S. Parliament. Go watch it! (As I have yet been able to figure out how to successfully embed video...)

I've changed a few words around to make the statements appropriate for Obama:

"[You have] the ability to say one thing in this chamber but a very different thing to your voters."

"Perhaps you would have more moral authority in this house if your actions matched your words and you stopped relying on a tele-prompter with fluffy lingo to hoodwink the less intelligent citizens."

"The truth, Mr. President, is that you have run out of our money."

"You tried to spread the blame around...well it is true that we are all sailing together into the squalls...but not every vessel in the convoy is in the same dilapidated condition. Our hull is pressed deep into the waterline under the accumulated weight of your debt."

"It's not that you're not apologizing - like everyone else I've long accepted that you're pathologically incapable of apologizing for these things - it's that you're carrying on willfully worsening our situation, wantonly spending our children's futures, our 401K's, our life savings."

"Mr. President, you cannot carry on forever, squeezing the productive bit of the economy in order to fund an unprecedented engorgement of the unproductive bit."

"You can not spend your way out of recession or borrow your way out of debt."

"You are the devalued president of a devalued government."
