The inherent dishonesty of the Dem message

This guy says what I was thinking during Obama's speech.

The problem Democrats have is they can't come right out and be honest about what they want - Western european style socialism. Thus the BS about personal responsibility, which they don't believe in.

Of COURSE they believe in personal responsibility. They believe the rest of us are responsible to get up and go to work everyday so we earn wages so they can take our money and give it to the poor.

There's no dishonesty, it's all in your head. Americans are working their butt off and seeing their real wages decline. Obama wants them to get paid more for it. There's no "contradiction" or "confusing blend," it's just a pragmatic, non-ideological policy.

And since Obama's plan will lower both spending and tax levels from the current adminstration, all this talk of the move toward European-style socialism is, frankly, dishonest.
