While I normally focus on jaw-dropping examples of hypocrisy by politicians, I realize that our beloved leaders also can be absurdly brazen in their exaggerations, deceptions, and prevarications.
But sometimes you can’t help but be shocked by their chutzpah.
Sort of like the time back in 2010 that a Greek politician issued an ultimatum that his country should get a giant bailout without taking the necessary steps to rein in bureaucratic bloat.
But nothing compares with Obama’s recent claim that his opponents are trying to “bamboozle” voters.
But I’m more amazed that the President, while defending his health plan, actually had the gall to accuse others of trying to “bamboozle.”
This from the President who prevaricated when he said people could keep their doctor.
This from the President who dissembled when he said health policies would be $2500 cheaper.

President Obama, in a fiery speech to Democrats Friday, accused Republicans of trying to “bamboozle folks,” saying their policies on middle-class issues did not reflect their lofty talk about helping ordinary Americans. …Obama went on to lambast Republicans for their opposition to his healthcare law… “Their grand predictions of doom and gloom and death panels haven’t come true,” Obama told the roomful of Democrats. “The sky hasn’t fallen. Chicken Little is quiet.”Given the ongoing series of Obamacare disasters, I think there’s a strong case to be made that the American people have suffered some doom and gloom.
