Barack Obama Voted Against Debt Limit Increase in 2006

Barack Obama Frowning

Hypocrisy is the most objectionable quality a politician can have, and Barack Obama has proven his hypocrisy by demanding a national debt limit increase in 2011 when he actually voted against a debt limit increase in 2006. In 2006, then Senator Barack Obama voted against H.J.Res.47, a resolution to increase the debt limit from $8.184 trillion to $8.965 trillion.

Just a few years later, Barack Obama is taking the exact opposite position as President. A 180 degree turn of this nature is a huge change. How did Barack Obama manage to completely reverse his views in such a short amount of time?

Chris Dodd, Lying Hypocrite of the Week

Senator Chris Dodd wins the Lying Hypocrite of the Week for his entanglement in the AIG bonus controversy. Senator Dodd was one of the leading voices speaking out in condemnation of the AIG bonuses, but he is responsible for the legislation that allowed the bonuses to be paid to the AIG employees. Dodd even lied about his involvement in the legislation until the press exposed him.

The most shocking turn is that Chris Dodd received a large bonus of his own from AIG in the form of campaign contributions. When Chris Dodd was running for President in 2008, he received over $100,000 in contributions from AIG's Wilton-based Financial Products unit. Now caught, Senator Dodd says he will give the money back, but how do we know he will? We already know Senator Dodd is a liar who likes money. He should give the money back, but he probably won’t actually do it.

Joe Biden Tells Handicapped Chuck Graham to Stand Up

At a political event in Columbia, Missouri today, Senator Joe Biden, told Missouri State Senator Chuck Graham to stand up for the crowd. This would have been fine except for the inconvenient fact that Graham is confined to a wheelchair. In Biden’s defense, he probably thought Barack Obama had already healed Graham.
