Obama’s actions contradict his words

I am perplexed. We have a president who assures us that he understands our concerns. However, his actions contradict this. He goes on a “town hall meeting” tour to talk about nothing new when he should be calling Congress back to address tax and entitlement reforms.

He buys two buses at $1.2 million each from Quebec to talk about how he would like to see “made in America” stamps on goods overseas. The buses are accompanied by $30,000-plus SUV’s that leave a major carbon footprint.

Finally, he departs on a vacation to Martha’s Vineyard when most of us will be having staycations. He says that we may all have to sacrifice, but I have yet to see him do it. Actions really do speak louder than words ... and he is never at a loss for the latter.
