Just Lie To Get Your Way

In 2008 Obama said that under his cap and trade system that electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. The idea was by capping greenhouse gases coal and other power plants would be forced to retro-fit their operations to meet the new standards which would cost them lots of money and they would recover their costs from us in the form of skyrocket electric bills but we would be better off because this action would save the planet even though we would all go broke in the process. This admission by Obama is an example of the arrogant liberal so enamored by his own brilliance that he believes he can tell us he is fooling us to do something for our own good because we are too stupid to do things his way and knows he is so superior to us that he doesn't mind exposing his subterfuge because we are powerless to stop him somewhat reminiscent of Mondale admitting he would raise taxes when debating Reagan. Whether it was sheer arrogance or stupidity when Obama admitted the use of devious methods to get what he wants was perfectly acceptable the question became why anyone would trust such a person? clarlarc
