Hypocrisy Transparent As Obama Prepares To Meet With Chamber of Commerce

Posted by: Scott Schaefer in Barack Obama, Economic Bailouts, Economy, Health Care

Although the sea of socialist rhetoric and hypocrisy through which Barack Obama makes us wade is routinely deep, I found a news blurb this morning that I found particularly hypocritical. Barack Obama is meeting with the US Chamber of Commerce to see what he can do to help create jobs. Obama also wants to assure the business community he supports them.

That’s a tall order for the most anti-business President in our history.

Then it dawned on me, this is what Obama meant by transparency when he was running for office, because his effort to appear pro-business by making nice with the Chamber of Commerce is entirely transparent.

Just two months ago Obama was on a nationwide speaking tour attacking and maligning the Chamber of Commerce, claiming they were trying to buy the election, and snatch prosperity from the poor voters who deserved it. But that wasn’t bad enough.

Obama’s inflammatory speeches went much further by accusing the Chamber of Commerce of violating campaign finance laws by using hundreds of millions of dollars from foreign companies to steal the election. Obama was lying. He knew his accusations were false when he was making them.

As a man completely lacking integrity, it doesn’t matter to him what he says when trying to get elected or trying to elect his Democratic brethren in the Congress.

But now our dear socialist leader would have us believe he is meeting with the Chamber of Commerce to discuss ways to work together to create American jobs. This is just as big a lie as his last stump speech accusing the Chamber of trying to steal the Midterm Elections.

Make no mistake, Obama is meeting with the Chamber of Commerce because he has begun his reelection campaign and must appear friendly to the business community in order to have any chance at reelection. Especially since the Democratic Party got its collectivist fanny spanked in the 2010 Midterm Election in November.

If Obama really wants to fix the economy and create American jobs, I’ll gladly provide him with a laundry list of steps he could take. Among them, repeal ObamaCare, cut taxes, stop spending, roll back out-of-control entitlements and get out of the way. Since none of these solutions are acceptable to Obama, American business will continue to sit on the $2 trillion in cash it has in reserves. Until the voters get him out of the way.

About Scott Schaefer

Scott Schaefer is a political writer and the publisher of Intelligent US Politics. Schaefer is a self described constitutional conservative and patriot who writes extensively on the subject of American politics. In addition to Intelligent US Politics, Schaefer also publishes the American Politics Wiki and writes for many other blogs and websites. Much of his writing is syndicated by Technorati Media. Schaefer, who was a home builder and real estate developer for 25 years, now heads Lexington Development, a boutique web design and Internet marketing firm in Texas that specializes in developing high performance solutions for small businesses and start ups that integrate website design, search engine optimization (SEO), Internet marketing and content development services. His background in American politics began in 1974 when he was enlisted by his father as a political campaign volunteer at the age of 10. Though more conscript than volunteer in that first political campaign, Schaefer found he had a passion for politics. He volunteered for his second political campaign two years later working for a slate of four independent candidates against a network of entrenched incumbents. His passion and energy were reflected in the results as the entire slate was elected. Schaefer's father, John Schaefer, was one of those candidates, and the man from whom he inherited his political zeal. His father's political victory bolstered Schaefer's dedication to politics and significantly expanded his skill set. He then took the next logical step and moved to the national stage in 1980, working for Ronald Reagan and Barry Goldwater, both of whom were elected by landslide. His passion for politics was was soon fueled by a strong sense of patriotic duty. Having closely observed the malaise caused by Jimmy Carter and the contrasting, upbeat solutions offered by Ronald Reagan, Schaefer found himself dedicated to the principal of American Exceptionalism. Schaefer entered the political arena as a candidate himself in 1981. Successful in his first candidacy, he was elected state President of the Arizona Teen Age Republicans, serving one term. In 1984, Schaefer again returned to politics and worked tirelessly on Ronald Reagan's reelection campaign, the result of which was the greatest political landslide in American history. Taking time away from politics, Schaefer focused on a private sector career, starting a small business in 1984, which he ran successfully until founding Intelligent US Politics in 2009. Many of Schaefer's political articles are syndicated by Technorati Media. In syndication, his political articles have been republished on more than 36,000 websites and blogs worldwide.
