Tom DeLay: Obama a hypocrite and speech was worst ever

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay played hardball this afternoon and threw a 100mile per hour fastball at the White House.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Hardball" program, the Sugar Land Republican said that President Barack Obama's agenda "is going to drive our economy into the toilet."

"This was the most irresponsible and hypocritical speech I've ever witnessed," DeLay told host Chris Matthews.

DeLay labeled Obama a hypocrite for advocating $2 trillion in spending restraint at the same time he pushed a $1 trillion economic plan and Democrats are pushing a $410 billion short-term spending package. The conservative Texan said Obama's plans would "take over the entire economy" through a cap-and-trade energy policy. He accused the President of advocating "nationalizing education."

"That's not going to help the economy; it's going to hurt the economy," he said.
"It's insane what he's talking about."

Playing political prognosticator, DeLay said Obama has already sown the seeds of his own political destruction.

"He's not going to be re-elected, that's for sure," DeLay predicted.
