Ray, one of our regular readers and commenters, sent along this little gem. He was reading an article about con men on a site called HowStuffWorks.com when the proverbial lightbulb went on over his head.
How Con Artists Work
“Hey,” Ray thought, “con men sound just like liberal politicians.”
Con artists make money through deception. They lie, cheat and fool people into thinking they’ve happened onto a great deal or some easy money, when they’re the ones who’ll be making money. If that doesn’t work, they’ll take advantage of our weaknesses — loneliness, insecurity, poor health or simple ignorance. The only thing more important to a con artist than perfecting a con is perfecting a total lack of conscience.
The only thing missing is a mention of the con man’s labor union and race hustler accomplices.

This man is president by name only. He's no leader, he isn't working with Congress in a positive constructive manner. He's like a spoiled child who isn't getting his way and threatens and points fingers. This "man" has absolutely NO CLASS and a bad attitude. Compare how he speaks to others to the late President Ronald Reagan just for one example. What a contrast THAT is!!! By the way, has anyone seen any of the number of photos taken of him in the oval office with his feet up on coffee tables, feet up on the oval office presidental desk (a national treasure, a gift from England constructed out of the wood of the ship the HMS resolute which we returned to them back when). It makes my blood boils seeing how he not only disrespects others and is condecending, but has absolutely no class and shows that kind of disrespect for the highest office in the nation and world. Con artist? You bet....hasn't delivered on any of his promises, INCLUDING working with both parties to make ends meet. He's partisan as they come, liberal as they make em, and ALL he wants to do, his answer for everything, is to tax and spend. Penalizing the rich doesn't encourage anyone to strive for the American dream and I ask you, what is it that inspires you about Obama or what has he done so far that's been good for you? Are you better off than 4 years ago? Even he said you aren't!!!! I don't know about YOU, but going further into debt and putting the bill on my childrens future is NOT how my budget works at home! If I can't afford it, I don't buy it OR I work overtime or get a side job if I want it. If we want our money to stay here rather than support Shieks and terrorists then damn it, drill for oil HERE!! The answer really is simple; embrace TRUE free enterprise and cut down the size of this huge government monster. Simple common sense. Besides, other than our military it doesn't appear that the rest of the Government agencies can do anything right or be competive in the marketplace ANYWAY, unless they monopolize it, perfect example is now the US post office is in big trouble financially!!! So let it compete with private industry, make cuts as we do, or just shut it down, DON'T BAIL OUT A LOSER LIKE THEY DID WITH OUR TAX MONEY, OUR EARNINGS, TO BAIL OUT BANKS WHO PUT OUT RIDICULOUSLY STUPID LOANS!!! The real estate industry was worried about these loans 10 years ago when they first started them and sure enough, look what happened. THEN we bail out the bad guys with YOUR money. STUPID AND WRONG!!!!!!! In a free enterprise system there are NO entitlements, no guarantees and nobody gets bailed out if THEIR business fails. We need LESS government and LESS regulations (sans air, water, safety regs of course). I want this govt to recognize that they ONLY should govern within the boundries of the constitution. Health care are you KIDDING ME? Another loser!!!!! OMG (OMG = Obama Must Go). God bless you all and God bless and help America return to who we once were!!!
Yea but I want my obama money.
Too late, GM, GE, and Chrysler got it all.
Well, that is after SEIU and ACORN took their cut!
they’ll take advantage of our weaknesses — loneliness, insecurity, poor health or simple ignorance.
They forgot just plain poor!
The plan of attack for any Dem pol is to figure a way into the hearts of the recipient class.
Duh.
I've been calling him out as a conman since 2007 when I looked into his Harvard Law Review days.
Best description of politicians yet! The parallel's are uncanny.
explains why they want to put con artists in jail, too. They hate competition.
Take away his writers and the telepromter and this is what you get: an idiot~!

Very accurate. Unfortunately the Stupids will not see the similarities. Just like the fairly large numbers that get scammed/conned daily by the use of one simple word. "FREE"
