Epiphany? Arianna Huffington Bashes Obama for Saying One Thing and Doing Another

Dec. 13, 2010 1:14pm Jonathon M. Seidl

For a small moment on this morning’s “Morning Joe,” Huffington Post founder Arianna Huffington echoed a common conservative prediction over the last two years: President Obama says, or promises, one thing and does another.

That prediction was especially true when, after the 2008 election, many conservatives predicted all the “change” promised by Obama would be hard to deliver. It seems liberals are now understanding that’s the case. Huffington aired her grievances today, saying that Obama has fallen into a “pattern” of saying one thing and doing another.

“He proposed and accepted something he’s been opposing for years,” she said:

While Arianna does seem to echo a conservative critique, what she and many liberals fail to understand is a) no one is cutting taxes, and b) Obama actually did fulfill his promise to extend tax rates for the “middle class.”

Maybe it’s not a big epiphany after all.

At least, Mrs. Huffington didn’t have to ‘borrow’ someone else’s thoughts or writings for that outburst; no small feat for one with her history of plagiarism and license.

Just another sad-sack that figured out how to catch a rich guy and give up ‘living like a refugee’.

Ari(Man)na is once again spouting off the talking points of her master, George Soros. He recently went on record asking people to shift support away from the president, and here is his newly found lap dog barking the retreat. Ruff.. Ruff..

If Arianna does not like the way this country exist, honors the Constitution, engage in working and living honestly, rejecting class warfare making money which is never enough etc…, than… wait for it, wait for it get the f….k out of our country and go back to Europe.

  @leftfighter, I am afraid you are right. And since Obama ligitimized this parasite’s website, the lefties will listen to the crap she spews and take it to heart. If they believe he is floundering they may step up to help get him and their agenda back on track.

  Make no mistake. All of this is carefully crafted to cause the desired effect. This is to get the truly dangerous loons out in the streets. Just like that commie animal Jones said “force him to do what he wants to do”.

  The lefties may be feigning a little outrage over the “compromise” so the right feels like they won something. All the while we are screwed again with almost a trillion dollar unfunded stimulus.
  This thing isn’t a good deal.

  THE LEFT REPUDIATES MR. OBAMA?
  Recently, the media has been filled with stories of the left repudiating President Obama. He is being condemned by the left because of his inability to stamp out the last remnants of individual liberty after almost 2 years in office. According to the news reports the left considers this incompetence. Ridiculous! The real underlying message is that if the left is dissatisfied with Mr. Obama, then he can’t be all that bad, can he? This is a rather transparent effort to convince the gullible that Mr. Obama is not the wannabe tyrant his actions show him to be.
  Do not be duped by this media blitz. Every proposal that Mr. Obama has initiated is aimed at oppression of the individual, destruction of the remainder of our Capitalistic system and increasing the power of the wannabe tyrants.
  As tyranny always begets poverty and despair that will certainly be the result of Mr. Obama’s proposals
  This is just another example of the use of the “preponderance of propaganda”! The wannabe tyrants and their cronies are publicizing lies, half-truths and the irrelevant to avoid a discussion of the issues. Pay no attention to the smokescreen.
  When the premise is false the only arguments that can be used are fear mongering, emotion, sarcasm, ridicule, attacking the messenger and misrepresentation of the facts (lying). Those who expect to reap huge profits from our misery caused by tyranny are experts at these tactics.
  The only relevant issue is freedom or tyranny!!!! http://commonsense21c.com/

  Naw … The Left never learns because they’re sheeple: “If the head sheep (Pelosi) jumps off a cliff, the rest will bah-bah jump too”. Obama forsaked them, in their eyes, but the anger is only temporary whilst awaiting Pelosi and/or Soros’ lead(s).

  Fair and Balanced. You’ll never hear a positive thing about Obama on FOX, anywhere, anytime, no matter what he does. If he takes Michelle on a date, it’s a waste of taxpayer money, if he’s seen with his children, Glenn Beck mocks them as idiots, if he attends the wife of a fallen soldier, he’s vilified.
  
  A news outlet is not balanced if there is never a single positive remark about this administration. That’s FOX. Huffington Post? It’s left wing for sure, but Obama is slammed regularly on that website. Same with MSNBC’s Maddow and Olbermann. If if you think criticism of the President is “seeing the light” it’s only because you actively avoid being exposed to anything like fair journalism.

  Wait, wait, wait!!!
  
  You must remember one thing. HuffPo lives off of attention. Just like Chris Matthews and Keith Olberman. This is what they DO for a living. And they are in competition with Rush, Glenn, Michael Savage, and numerous others for air time.
  
  Olberman shoots off his mouth and the spotlight swings towards him. Mathews proves once again that there are precious few brain cells alive and well in his head, and oooohhhhh, we all look to see the car wreck. Joy Behar has diarrhea of the mouth and everybody tunes into the View to watch the next cat fight. So, Janeane Garofalo jumps into the act, just to show she can. Now Arianna’s grabbed center stage.
  
  It’s a ploy. Just looking for the old Warhol 15 minutes of fame. This is what these people are paid to do. It’s going to take a LOT more to convince me that she’s not mouthing some cue card rhetoric.
