Dr. Obama’s Cognitive Dissonance
*********************************************************************
The President diagnoses “Romnesia” but Obama’s Liberal governance and stated goal of more jobs are mutually exclusive, displaying a cognitive dissonance
*********************************************************************
Modern Presidential campaigns, perhaps like those going back to the 18th century, generally are not the height of enlightened discourse when it comes to addressing the serious issues that the country faces. This year’s campaign is no exception, thanks in large part to the Obama campaign.
Realizing that the economy and jobs are not an issue that will get him re-elected, President Obama has desperately tried to change the subject and resorted to accusing Mitt Romney and Republicans of wanting to raise taxes, destroy Mother Earth and waging a war on [you name it].
Dr. Obama claims that the operation he performed on this country the past 4 years was a success…..even though the patient is dying

The latest shtick in the Obama campaign’s political Vaudeville act is accusing Mitt Romney of suffering from “Romnesia” for emphasizing moderate positions rather than the alleged conservative ones he put forward in the Republican primary race. Obama told a crowd in the battleground state of Virginia that Romney was backtracking on his conservative-platform.
“He’s forgetting what his own positions are, and he’s betting that you will, too. I mean, he’s changing up so much and backtracking and sidestepping, we’ve gotta … name this condition that he’s going through, I think it’s called Romnesia,” Obama said.
At the rally in Virginia, Obama described Romnesia “symptoms” on Romney’s positions on abortion and taxes for the wealthy.
Putting aside Mr. Obama’s own severe case of Romnesia, given that he railed against George Bush’s war on terror and then adopted virtually all of it as President or that he promised not to raise taxes but did with ObamaCare, the President suffers from a debilitating case of cognitive dissonance.
Specifically, he says he wishes to grow the economy which will create jobs but he then force-feeds via subsidies the green energy industry, imposes drastic regulations on the energy industry (coal), nixes the XL Pipeline that cost tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs and rammed through ObamaCare which has added an extra burden on business and created a state of animated suspension when it comes to capital investment and hiring. These are all pet projects of Liberals but they are mutually exclusive from economic and job growth.
Thank you, Dr. Obama, for the evaluation of Mr. Romney but given your conflicting thoughts and policy goals, here’s a suggestion: heal thyself.
