Neal Boortz: Bribes not change we can believe in

Just how bad ... how dishonest ... how hypocritical ... can our hopey-changey
president be? Apparently there are no bounds.

No secret, my friends. I'm no fan of Barack Obama. This is a man with no
respect for the rule of law, no respect for our Constitution, and no respect
for the oath he took when he was sworn in on Jan. 20, 2009. The typical
response I will get to these comments from Obama Bots out there will be
something like "... well, George Bush blah blah blah blah and blah."

Know what? You're right. George Bush had his own set of problems and did his
share of damage to our economy. He essentially doubled the size of our Imperial
Federal Government and sent our deficit soaring.

But George Bush isn't the president now; and citing his deficiencies does
nothing to heal or ameliorate the damage being done by the current White House
resident.

Are you completely aware of the how far The Community Organizer is willing to
go to get his government takeover of health care started? How about selling
federal judgeships for votes? Would Obama go that far? Well, let's consider the
interesting case of Utah Democratic Rep. Jim Matheson. Matheson has voted
against ObamaCare at every opportunity. Now, suddenly, Rep. Matheson is
officially "undecided." He doesn't really know how he's going to vote now. His
office reports that he's waiting to see if a "bipartisan consensus" on
ObamaCare forms. When asked if a bipartisan consensus would mean Republican
votes, the Matheson office was strangely defensive.

Now you're probably wondering just what happened to cause the honorable Rep.
Matheson to change his mind. Simple. Obama bought his vote. You already know
about the Cornhusker Kickback with Nebraska Sen. Ben Nelson. You've heard about
the Louisiana Purchase with Louisiana Sen. Mary Landrieu. And how can you
forget Obama's purchase of union ObamaCare support with tax exemptions? Now
Obama is working the House of Representatives. The price here is a federal
judgeship.

Rep. Matheson, you see, has this brother. His name is Scott. Scott Matheson is
a lawyer and law professor who occupies some fancy chair at the University of
Utah College of Law. It seems that Barack Obama has now nominated Professor
Matheson to an empty seat on the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Now just
how transparent is that! Rep. Jim Matheson votes "no" on ObamaCare. Barack
Obama nominates his brother to fill an appeals court vacancy. Suddenly Rep.
Matheson is "undecided," which means he's going to vote "yes."

So, there you go. Is this how Obama said he would govern if he was elected
president? Hardly. I seems to remember Obama talking about an end to "business
as usual" in Washington. I guess selling judgeships is the new "business as
usual."

I have a few words left and always another point to make. Hopefully you know
now that President Obama has blessed the use of the "reconciliation" process to
pass ObamaCare. That means passage of ObamaCare by 50-plus-one votes in the
Senate.

Well, here's an Obama quote from an interview with the Concord Monitor on Oct.
10, 2007. Obama, then in campaign mode, said: "We are not going to pass
universal health care with a 50-plus-one strategy." On Sept. 25, 2007, Obama
told the Change to Win Convention: "... We're going to have to have a 60
percent majority in the Senate and the House in order to actually get a bill to
my desk. We're going to have to have a majority to get a bill to my desk that
is not just a 50-plus-one majority."

That stink in the air? The wonderful stench of hypocrisy.
