Blame The Economy On The Whites

Mar 27, 2009 General, Political

Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva blamed the economic problems on white people with blue eyes. According to this racist jackass it was only white people who were running the banks and caused the problem because they thought they knew so much but showed how little they really do know.

And this jackass bases his assessment on the fact that he knows no people of color who run banks. Now that is a smart way to come to such a racist conclusion.

Perhaps he never heard of people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton who protested and worked to get loans for people of color. These were loans they could not afford and that would never have been made had banks not been forced to abandon safe practices under the threat of protest and claims of racism. I know there were plenty of people of all races who borrowed more than they could afford but the race baiters do not fight for them. Regardless, they were part of the problem and they are not bankers no matter what color they are.

Perhaps the Brazilian jackass has never heard of Congresswoman Maxine Waters or her husband Sidney Williams. Williams is a banker and Water used her office to try to get him bailout money. Williams is definitely black, or a person or color, of NOT white with blue eyes.

I am pretty sure there are plenty of bankers of color and I am sure many of them ran their businesses ethically just as many white, blue eyed bankers did. There were a lot of things that caused the problems and I am certain that it was not solely a bunch of white, blue eyed guys.

Perhaps president jackass does not know any bankers of color because his country is not as diverse as the US.

Considering George Bush supported an International Monetary Fund bailout of Brazil in 2002 it is hard to say that the white guys are all the problem. This is especially true when one considers that Brazil’s problems were the result of corruption in its financial system.

I guess the corruption, failed judicial system, and need for a bailout in 2002 were the fault of blue eyed white guys as well?

And don’t you white guys with brown or green eyes think you are off the hook. First they came for the blue eyed white guys and I said nothing….

The Crisis Isn’t That Bad After All

Mar 13, 2009 Political

Barack Obama was Chicken Little with regard to the economic downturn. He said it was a crisis and that we needed to act now or we might not be able to recover. He told Congress that they had to act now to pass his bill because time was of the essence. They passed it quickly, without reading it, and then he waited four days to sign it. So much for time being of the essence.

It is well known that Rahm Emanuel said that they could not let a crisis go to waste. He said a crisis was the time to push through things that you would not usually be able to get. And that is exactly what the Democrats have done. Barack Obama has spent a trillion dollars on a pork laden “stimulus” bill that does little to create meaningful, long lasting jobs, and it does little to stimulate the economy. The slide downward of the stock market is evidence of the lack of confidence in his policies.

But there was a good crisis to use and after they spent a trillion dollars that has yet to be earned, they passed an omnibus bill to clear up what they neglected last year. The bill had 9000 earmarks in it which means they wasted even more money. The crisis was there and they needed to get their pet projects out there before things started to recover. Once the crisis is over they might have trouble getting all that they want because the public will be more attentive.

Looks like Obama must have gotten all he figures he will be able to because he told executives at a Business Round Table that the crisis is “not as bad as we thought.”

It is not as bad as HE and HIS Democrats said it was. Most others recognized that it was bad but that it was not as bad as past recessions and that we could recover without spending a future generation’s wealth. Obama sounded the crisis klaxon and spent a lot very quickly to get what he wanted. Interestingly, he had this to say:

“I don’t think things are ever as good as they say, or ever as bad as they say,” Obama added. “Things two years ago were not as good as we thought because there were a lot of underlying weaknesses in the economy. They’re not as bad as we think they are now.”

As bad as THEY say? You were the one saying it was bad Barack. A lot of us knew it was not as bad as you were saying and that the hype was designed to get what you wanted even if it was not in the best interests of this country. You, Mr. Obama, were the one screaming that the world was ending and using FEAR, a tactic you criticized Bush for, to get what you wanted. It certainly seems as if you thought it was as bad as they said because you sure acted like it.

I hope this little confession of yours hits home with the mindless drones who hang on your every word. In case they have trouble let me help them.

If Obama screams about crisis in the future and says we need to act now or that if we wait we might not be able to recover, IT IS NOT AS BAD AS HE IS MAKING IT SOUND.

By his own admission he does not think things are as bad as people say they are. Apply the same standard to him and when he says things are bad, it is a crisis and that we must act now just remember that it is not as bad as he says.

It wasn’t as bad as he made it out to be when he was pushing for trillion dollar spending and it will not be as bad as they say when they are looking for another stimulus.

Keep in mind, they need a crisis to get what they want without having to use pesky little things like procedure. They manufactured the crisis part of the economic downturn for political gain and they will do it again when they want to spend more of our children’s and grandchildren’s futures.

Crisis management is the hallmark of Obama and his administration.

Obama Leadership Equals Crisis Management

Mar 7, 2009 Political

There is no doubt that Barack Obama assembled one of the greatest teams in history to run his campaign. He always had surrogates to go on the attack or to make claims of racism while he appeared to remain above the fray. His fund raising set all kinds of records. He received money from all over the world and some of the donors were American citizens who donated only the legal amount. His team was able to hide the fund raising shenanigans and keep on moving on.

Then the unflappable, charismatic junior Senator from Illinois actually won. That is when he found out that leading a campaign is a lot different than leading the country. Obama is getting more gray hair each day as his “tracking poll” from the stock market keeps making a nosedive. He has already spent more money than the complete cost of the war and has raised the deficit higher than Bush did in eight years. Bush took a small Clinton deficit and nearly doubled it and Obama has nearly tripled it (for those who think Clinton had a surplus, using the same accounting tricks the war on terror has cost NOTHING). Obama said he would abandon the Bush policies and there would not be more of the same. I guess tripling the deficit instead of doubling it counts.

People are getting weary of Obama because he has clearly demonstrated that he cannot lead. He is finding out that it is one thing to run for office and promise the world but that it is quite another to actually have to do something. The leadership of Obama (if we can actually call it that) is crisis management. This has been elaborated upon several times and Obama confirmed it today. The crisis management approach was lain out by Rahm Emanuel who stated:

“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste. And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.”

This was what Rahm said prior to Obama taking office and in the midst of the economic meltdown that was created by Democratic policies and probably assisted along by Obama supporters when there was a mysterious huge run on the financial market.

What the ballerina is saying is that they know that in normal times there are things that would not pass the sniff test in Congress. There are items that will not pass no matter what and that there are others that might pass but they would be politically unwise. With a crisis they can hype it up for all it is worth and pass things that would otherwise never pass just by screaming crisis and telling people that the world will end if we do not act NOW!

Interestingly, Hillary Clinton said the same thing on her little jaunt to Europe.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an audience Friday “never waste a good crisis,” and highlighted the opportunity of rebuilding economies in a greener, less energy-intensive way. al-Reuters

Here the focus is on the environment and making things all nice and green. But the principle is the same. Use the crisis to scare up support for expensive repairs for an unproven problem and claim it is necessary in order to provide jobs and save Mother Earth. Incidentally, the Earth has been here for millions of years before man set foot on it and it will be here a long time after we are gone. Global warming will not end our time here.

So we have the ballerina and the Secretary of State discussing using a crisis to screw the country and they are on the same sheet of music because that is what their boss, King Hussein has decided to do.

Well, I don’t think he decided to lead that way. I believe that this is the only thing he knows. He has NEVER been a leader in his adult life. He was a rabble rouser in Chicago and he was present in the Illinois legislature. Then he went to the US Senate where he had an unremarkable stint. He ended up in the White House and he could not lead a group of people out of a burning building.

Let me correct that, he could lead his “followers” anywhere because they will do anything he wants. They are lemmings who will follow him off a cliff.

Today on his weekly radio address The Evil Won stated very clearly that his “leadership” style is crisis management.

“Yes, this is a moment of challenge for our country,” Obama said. “But we’ve experienced great trials before. And with every test, each generation has found the capacity to not only endure, but to prosper – to discover great opportunity in the midst of great crisis.” My Way News

The great opportunity of which he speaks is the opportunity for him and his Democrats to spend like there is no tomorrow.

And with them at the wheel, there might not be.

For Crisis Sakes!

Feb 20, 2009 Political

The dialogue a leader has with his people sets the tone and mood of those who are led. When Chuck Schumer mentioned a bank that was failing there was a run on that bank (though one would be hard pressed to actually call Schumer a leader). Barack Obama has given us a dire assessment of the economic situation and each time he speaks of the “catastrophes” the market and the people respond in kind. His latest comes from the speech on 18 February when he was discussing the housing problem and the associated mortgage defaults.

Obama uses the word “crisis” 25 times in the speech. I understand that the situation is gloomy and I don’t want unrealistic, euphoric assessments but a bit of upbeat news might instill confidence in the public.

Of course, when one is trying to have the government take over every aspect of daily life there is no better way than to give the bleakest of pictures and claim that “only” government can fix the problem.

As Reagan once said, government is the problem…

The video reminds me of a South Park episode where the characters said the word sh*t and a counter rang up the total.

With Obama describing the situation it would be more appropriate to add the word BULL to the first part of that expletive South Park shamelessly used (around 200 times).

At least we now know his “leadership” style.

Crisis management…

Iran Prepares Obama’s Crisis Test

Nov 1, 2008 Political

When North Korea conducted nuclear tests the MSM were all over that story. It was over a July 4^th holiday and my relaxation was interrupted by continual coverage of the nuclear tests and how the Bush administration had failed. I know, you are surprised as well. Clinton gave the NoKos all the stuff they needed to develop nukes and then took a handshake and a nod that they would only use them for good. The ink on the sales receipts was not even dry before Lil’ Kim started on his nuclear program.

Anyway, the point is that the media were all over it. It was reported for a few days and the Democrats made political hay out of saying that Bush took his eye off North Korea and they went nuclear on us.

President Bush has had his eye on Iran for some time now and he has been warning about Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Iran swears (by Allah) that they are only developing nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Right. Bush is not buying it and neither is Israel because Iran would shoot nuclear missiles at Israel to achieve a dream of wiping out that country. Democrats have been sucking their thumbs worrying that President Bush will go to war with Iran over the issue. Democrats are weak on things like war. They vote for wars when it is politically expedient and then call the wars mistakes and say we need to lose quickly. Obama started off as the guy who would bring our troops home TODAY (his words). Now he will do it in a phased fashion.

Back on track though. There were two recent earthquakes in Iran and a top nuclear scientist there is claiming that they were actually tests of nuclear bombs. That could very well be. The entire time Iran told the world that it had suspended enrichment they actually continued to work. For nearly two years Iran continued moving toward nuclear weaponry while the world thought they were on hold.

The Israeli National News is reporting that a scientist from Iran has claimed the earthquakes were nuclear tests and not really earthquakes. I am not sure if there is a way to tell the difference or not so I have no way of knowing if this person is credible. It is also possible that the claim was “leaked” to stir up controversy.

Regardless, how many stories about this have been on the news? Not many and that is because the media does not want to have a national security issue pop up at the last minute and hurt the chances of The Sainted One of becoming president. Remember, Joe Biden told us to mark his words, the world will test Obama and his response might not look right. Given Obama’s antisemitism perhaps the test is, Iran nukes Israel and Obama ignores it.

If this were not an election year the media would be all over it and blaming George Bush. Fortunately, they are only testing so by the time they get to having nukes the new president will be in office and on the job. If it is Obama we can blame it all on him because it happened on his watch. It would have to be his fault anyway because Joe Biden said that an Obama presidency would bring about the crisis.

If McCain is in office I think Iran will reconsider any attacks on our allies.
