“Well, the stimulus package passed and look at the stock market.”
Senator, Lindsey Graham (R – SC)
What an absurd statement. Sen. Graham is probably aware of its absurdity, which leads me to ponder: why would he say such a thing? Of course, he would love us to believe that Obama is responsible for the lowly state of the stock market. I suspect from what he said next on Sunday’s Meet the Press, Graham’s motives for the insinuation were even more misleading.
Graham finished, (emphasis added) “I think the president has quite frankly, in his budget, told us a lot about who he is and what he believes, and it’s scary.”
The implication that we should fear Obama’s beliefs is nothing but a backdoor accusation of a “socialist” agenda represented in the president’s budget. In effect, Graham has found a way to accuse Obama of such a program without actually saying it.
The senator should leave such tripe for the conservative pundits who, incidentally, have received far too much press as of late. For that reason they shall remain unnamed in this post…
