Buddy Can You Spare A Trillion?

Jan 13, 2012 Political

Barack Obama went to Congress with hat in hand and asked for another trillion dollars of debt. He wants the debt ceiling raised another trillion dollars so he can borrow and spend more. This will likely be done because Congress can do nothing to stop it.

Under the deal struck last year, Obama can ask for the increase and unless Congress votes not to allow it then it will happen. Since the Democrats control the Senate they will likely not vote to stop it and if they do (it is an election year) Obama can veto them and there are not enough votes to override the veto.

Obama and his policies have given us the worst economic recovery since the Great Depression and he is on track to borrow more than all the presidents from Washington to Clinton combined!

According to the Washington Post, Obama formally notified Congress on 12 January that he will raise the debt ceiling by 1.2 trillion dollars. The Congress has 15 days to say no or it will automatically happen. The House does not return until the 17^th and the Senate the 23^rd. So Congress will have very few days to actually work on this. This also brings up an off topic question.

Obama’s justice Department sided with him on his recess appointments saying that Obama is unable to communicate with the Senate because it is not in session. He, according to Justice, was able to make recess appointments because he can’t communicate with the Senate because they are not there. How is it then, he is able to communicate with Congress regarding his desire to raise the debt ceiling? How can he formally notify them of his desire to raise the debt and then claim he can’t formally notify them of nominations because they are not there?

OK, back on target. I think Obama will raise the ceiling because the cowards in Congress set it up so they do not have to deal with it. They can claim they never raised the ceiling even if they make a show of trying to stop it. They gave up their power on this issue just as they have done with many other powers they have.

I think that Obama is going to have a hard time convincing people that we need to keep borrowing to get out of debt. Borrowing money to put it into the economy does not stimulate anything and makes as much sense as taking water from the deep end of a pool and putting it in the shallow end and claiming that the shallow end is getting deeper while the deep end is getting shallower.

It simply does not work.

But it is an election year and Obama needs more seed money to pay off his base.

We need a do over on government. We need to get rid of them all and start over with the fresh minds of people who have not been corrupted by their position in office.

November is our revolution.

Lead By Example

Dec 5, 2011 Political

Or is it bluster for the cameras?

Barack Obama warned Congress that it had better pass the payroll tax holiday extension or it might not be leaving for Christmas. Obama is upset that the Congress has failed to pass a bill that would force people who EARN more than a million dollars to pay a surcharge, or what Obama calls “their fair share.” The wealthy pay most of the federal taxes in this country so it is obvious they pay more than their fair share. Those who don’t pay their fair share are those who sponge off government but pay nothing in federal taxes. Obama though, is using the threat of Congress spending Christmas in DC as a weapon to get what he wants:

“I expect it is going to get done before Congress leaves,” Obama warned lawmakers. “Otherwise Congress might not be leaving, and we can all spend Christmas here together.”

This is typical Obama crisis management. Everything he wants passed must be done now, is a crisis and can’t wait. They all wait until the last minute, strike a deal that screws us all and then slap each other on the back and go home.

This is mostly bluster because Obama has already revealed that he will be leaving on yet another vacation starting December 17^th. Obama is planning on going to Hawaii for 17 days and I highly doubt that he means it when he says “we can all spend Christmas here together.” I sincerely doubt he will cancel his vacation to spend time in DC.

He might try to make Congress stay in DC while he is on vacation but that would go over like a pregnant pole-vaulter. Mind you, I have no doubt that Obama would do this because he is not a leader and he does not know how to lead by example.

But if he does he will suffer politically.

I do think that he will not have to worry. Congress will come up with some half baked scheme at the last minute and vote on it. It will pass (and they will spend a fortune getting it to Obama for his signature) and they will all tout how they had to compromise because the evil Democrats/Republicans (depending on who is talking) would not budge. It was the best we could hope for under the circumstances, blah, blah, blah.

They will be kicking a can down the road so they can leave for their expensive Christmas parties/fund raisers.

Obama will be on a Hawaiian golf course and the country will be circling the drain.

Cave canem!

Bawney Fwank Is Weaving Congwess

Nov 28, 2011 Political

Congressman Barney Frank of Massachusetts is not going to run for reelection because redistricting has left him with a district that is not as liberal as it once was. Frank has decided that he would not have it as easy as he has in the past and might end up losing. He figures that after 32 years in Congress it is time to move on so he can make even more money as a lobbyist or some other kind of blood sucker.

I am glad Frank is not running for reelection though I would love to see him get beat in an election. He is a disgusting, lying, condescending, smug, jerk who thinks he is above everyone else. He has told lies and denied involvement in things EVEN after being shown video evidence of him saying the things of which he was accused. He is one of the people who is primarily responsible for the housing market collapse that resulted in the current economic downturn.

He is a typical liberal elitist who thinks he knows what is good for all of us.

To Barney Frank, you are not smart enough to run your own life so you need him and others in government to tell you what to do and how and when to do it.

Frank however, allowed a homosexual prostitution ring to be run out of HIS home but he knows what is best for you. Frank claims not to know what was taking place in his home. If this is the case is he competent enough to decide what should go on in yours?

Many liberals think so and they will surely have many nice things to say about this moron. DNC Chairwoman, Debbie Washer-Woman Schultz, is already expressing how sad she is that Frank is leaving. Washer-Woman Schultz might not understand that Frank is a coward who is afraid of being beaten in the next election and who does not want to actually have to campaign. While he might enjoy being spanked he does not want to lose his election and he does not want to actually have to work to keep his seat (though he might enjoy giving that away as well).

In any event, this low life cretin who is nothing more than a waste of flesh is leaving office. That is great news as we begin the process of getting rid of the trash.

Goodbye you good for nothing liberal twit. If we never hear from you again it will be far too soon.

All Hail King Obama

Oct 12, 2011 Political

Barack Obama has been frustrated over the economy that he has failed to fix. He is flummoxed because he has pushed a Socialist agenda and ended up getting slapped down in the midterm elections. He is looking for a reelection that probably will not happen and he is frustrated. He is particularly upset that he has to deal with a Republican controlled Congress.

He is so upset that he has accused Republicans of failing to act on things that he could not get done when his party controlled both chambers and when he did not need one single GOP vote to get things passed. He needs a bad guy in order to get America back on his side (or so he thinks).

So after spending nearly a trillion dollars that did not stimulate and did not create jobs, Obama wants to spend 400 BILLION more to do what the first stimulus could not. He and his apologists have said that the Stimulus was not intended to grow jobs right away (in contrast to their claims before it was passed) and that job growth would occur later on (which happens to be about this time period). So if it was supposed to help by now, why do we need another Stimulus package?

Well, Obama introduced his second stimulus because he does not want it to pass. He wants Republicans to block it so he can blame them for all the problems that he caused. There is an election to win so Obama is playing the game. The problem he has is that a lot of Democrats oppose the second stimulus. There are quite a few Democrats in the Senate who are up for reelection next year and they are worried they will be voted out of office. Given that they took a beating in 2010 they already know another is possible so they opposed Obama’s second stimulus.

This has not stopped Obama and the Democrats from blaming Republicans. Harry Reid blames Republicans as his Democrats block it in the Senate. Obama blames Republicans as his party votes against it. Obama needs to keep blaming Republicans because that is the narrative. That is the plan, that is how he plans to fight to keep his job. He can’t let people know that his own party opposes his bill and that the Senate, which is controlled by his party, can’t get it passed because his Democrats do not support it.

He is now pushing on to plan B. Obama will continue to blame Republicans but he has directed his people to scour a report and identify those items which he can act on administratively in order to avoid Congressional involvement. Obama wants to do whatever he can to bypass the Congress and get his second stimulus in place. Obama wants to know how he can do things in a fashion that would conflict with our Constitution and our way of life.

He will blame Republicans and he will say he needed to do this because they were obstructing him. He will claim it was necessary and that he was looking out for you.

And you can bet that when it fails he will blame it on the very people he bypassed.

We went from a Republic to a Monarchy with King Barack ignoring a coequal branch of government in order to push an agenda.

We need to get rid of him and his enablers in 2012 or the American experiment will be marked a failure as we progress to a Socialist country.

Our Founders are spinning in their graves.

Hurry Up, I Need To Give My Speech

Sep 3, 2011 Political

Barack Obama ignored the rules of the House and Senate and said he wanted to give an address to a joint session on September 7^th, the day Congress gets back to work. It was logistically impossible because the invite needs to come from the Congress and it needs to be approved by both chambers. The Congress gets back at 1830 on the 7^th and it takes time to pass such a resolution. Not to mention that it takes about three hours to properly sweep the Capital for a presidential visit.

Obama did this under the guise that he needs to get right on this jobs issue. It is of utmost importance and he needs to get on it right away. He has been in office for over two years and has been claiming all that time that he is focused like a laser on jobs and the results have been disastrous. Couple this with the fact that he went on vacation for about two weeks and that he has given a number of speeches about jobs and one has to wonder why he absolutely had to have a joint session on the 7^th.

That night there is a Republican presidential debate and Thursday is opening day of the NFL season. Obama decided that he would rather take the spotlight off the Republican debate rather than interrupt the start of the NFL season. The White House was gracious enough to say the network holding the debate was free to move the time to accommodate the important address to a joint session of Congress. How nice…

The Speaker of the House sent a letter indicating it would be logistically impossible to have the joint session on the 7^th so Obama capitulated and took the 8^th instead.

This was an amateur political move by Obama because he was hoping to take some of the attention away from the folks from which his challenger will come. I am glad Speaker Boehner told him to pick another night but I think if they could have done it they should have. It would make Obama look small and, if the Republicans pushed the start of their debate back, they could watch Obama and then hammer him while the speech is fresh in people’s minds.

As it is he has demonstrated that he has little regard for protocol and that he believes he should be able to speak and make it so.

Obama looks smaller each and every day.
