InConsistency – a classic example. Stupid, but classic

Er, not so much.
Er, not so much.

From President Obama’s weekly address:

Just a few days after Christmas, more than one million of our fellow Americans lost a vital economic lifeline – the temporary insurance that helps folks make ends meet while they look for a job. Republicans in Congress went home for the holidays and let that lifeline expire. And for many of their constituents who are unemployed through no fault of their own, that decision will leave them with no income at all.

This would be just more political gas except for one thing: “Fine for me but not for thee”.  I snicker with irony that these were words spoken from Washington, DC Hawaii while the President is on vacation himself – a rather expensive one to boo.  These are the words spoken either by the ironically clueless, the political tone-deaf, or from someone that doesn’t give a darn. 

But still expects to make political points even during the “Emperor has no clothes” moment.  Yet, he’s out of town, my CongressCritters (both Republican and Democrat) are home in their districts.  So, is He going to be Consistent and call out his own Party for abandoning the latest victim group of the Left?  Absolutely not – He just thinks that his words will be believed prima fascia because He uttered them.

Postscript: “temporary insurance“, “let that lifeline expire” – aren’t temporary measures supposed to end?  That if you keep extending them (er, 99 weeks?), is it no longer temporary?  Or is “temporary” now being redefined to be “the hammock” ?
