Winners take responsibility, losers blame others

(BrightCitizen.com) Barak Obama has been busy telling government agencies to show the pain of cutting government (cuts also known the sequester). He’s closed down Whitehouse tours and told Homeland Security to pull staff at airports so Americans can feel the pain of longer waits for security checks. In the meantime, the same department spent over 1m USD on new uniforms.

It would be great if Baraks actions would follow his own talk. Unfortunately they don’t. Its the standard politician, do what I say, not what I do. He’s busy partying at the Whitehouse with famous personalities and playing golf with Tiger Woods. Which was another one day trip that cost Americans 1m USD as well.

Americans are neither dumb nor blind. They see this prodigal president lavishly wasting taxpayer funds while trying to dirty the opposing party for wanting a fiscally responsible government. It’s time Barak represent the people who elected him, not milk them for every dime.

Lost time is never found again.” – Benjamin Franklin

PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein made one such statement to the Dutch newspaper, Trouw, in March, 1977. He said:

“The Palestinian people does not [sic.] exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.”

On September 13, 1993, the same day Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin signed the “Declaration of Principles” embodying those ideals for which he would later get the Nobel Prize, he explained his motives on Lebanese TV:

“Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory that we can of Palestine, and establish sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, we can get the Arab nations to join us for the final blow against Israel.”
