Thanks (for nothing) Obama!

A couple years ago we knew nothing about obama, and unfortunately our newsmedia abdicated their traditional role of shining a light on stinky politicians– allowing perhaps one of histories ‘stinkiest’ to get elected.  Liberals will view my ‘stinky’ comments as racist of course, and that’s fine– I can’t change their world-view, and don’t really want to.  In fact, I think it best if we let their ‘world views’ shine forth for all to see;  let them take responsibility for the mess that they have created.  If you go back in this blog about 14 months or so, you will see that I have been consistent;  my fear then was that obama would be allowed to pass his ridiculous ‘stimulus plan’, which any non-partisan, educated reader knew was more anti-stimulus than pro-stimulus.  Why?  because businesses want to see an environment that allows growth, before they will commit to hiring. Wouldn’t you?  And businesses saw a trillion dollars of spending, the vast majority on social welfare programs that extended decades into the future, guaranteeing the eventuality of higher taxes.  None of this is rocket science– would YOU risk everything that you owned, to take a shot a growing a business that allowed you to take home a third of what you earned?

The trillion dollars offered nothing for businesses;  it may be a good thing to give money to teachers and unions (if you are a teacher, anyway)– but the money goes to buy them better pensions– not toward creating a job for anyone!  I have always suspected that Dems hated Bush so much that they actually believed the garbage they spewed, about him being ‘stupid.’  Never mind that he graduated from the best business school in the world (and do you REALLY think that being the son of the head of the CIA, a Republican appointee, won classroom favors for W at Harvard?!  If anything he probably had to work twice as hard).  Sure, he couldn’t give speeches as polished as the annointed one– but we all can see just how far THAT talent can carry a country!  The Dems figured that being president must be easy… and figured that the economy would just fix itself.  Don’t waste a crisis– use it to pass an agenda of wasteful social programs…. and the economy will be fine.  Heck, the recession that W inherited got better, right?!

Of course we know the truth;  Bush inherited the 2000-2001 recession, then the 9/11 attacks–  all in the shadow of Clinton’s stock market bubble and burst.  But Bush averted a deeper recession by doing what Reagan did– cutting taxes across the board, for everyone.  In return we had 8 years of economic prosperity, until the housing bubble (pushed in part by Dems who believe that everyone needs a home,  job or not) brought the good times to an end.

Obama did not reduce taxes like Bush did– he instead guaranteed they will rise.  That shuts off any interest in business investment.  But even worse, obama threw away a TRILLION DOLLARS– and added layers of government to the auto industry, the banks, and now healthcare.  So now we are too broke to actually HAVE a stimulus.  Yes, ‘shovel ready projects’ would be nice– if only obama had added them to the trillion dollar scheme that he pushed through in a few days, early last year.  Now we really need that money– today jobless claims rose ‘unexpectedly’ again– but it is too late.  Obama wasted that money, so we have no powder left in our kegs.

Thanks (for nothing) obama!

The headlines a couple weeks ago: OBAMA, BIDEN LAUNCH ‘RECOVERY SUMMER’.  Two hours earlier, new jobless claims had risen unexpectedly to over 470,000.  Thats another half-million people newly out of work.  We also learned today that manufacturing activity in the Eastern US dropped ‘unexpectedly’ last month.  But obama and biden say it’s ‘recovery summer,’ so let’s all be happy… right?

I was never as impressed with George Orwell’s 1984 as others seemed to be, until now.  The Orwellian comparisons were always at best hyperbole, and at worst liberal paranoia.  So where are those liberals now, when one of their own heroes fits the 1984 nightmare to a T? 

Eric Holder has made a mockery of the Justice Department.  A whistle blower testifies and share evidence documenting the new attitude in the Justice Dept, essentially codified in the logic that Black people cannot be considered racist, no matter what they do.  The Black Panther Party obstructs the polls? 

But WAIT!  Holder says it isn’t so.  The press apologizes and moves on.  ‘Our mistake!’ 

Obama vacation number seven.

I mentioned Biden’s reassurances;  Yesterday he was out crowing again about the ’3 million jobs created OR SAVED.’  This as retail sales drop even lower, and a day before the Fed announces that the economy just ain’t coming back this time around.  But against all the data, obama and Biden talk up the great job they’re doing.  Obama on NBC today said that ‘he got us out of this mess.’  I ask the readers… are we out of this mess?  Obana’s little talk was just before going off on his SEVENTH vacation, so maybe we should excuse his sunny image of the economy.  Everything looks better from the golf course, or so I hear.  But as obama rides off to the links his press agents spew that ‘he is the hardest working president ever.’  The press pull out their erasers.  HARD WORKER, they write.

Nobody has seen obama within a thousand miles of the Gulf of Mexico, or even mentioning the oil disaster… until yesterday, when BP finally sealed a cap on the well.  Suddenly there is obama on the news, talking about what ‘we’ have done so far to cap the leak, and how ‘we’ still have some work to do.  When the oil was gushing, he seemed to say ‘they, they, they.’  As soon as it is capped, it’s ‘we, we, we.’   THAT type of person is what they call… an asshole.  Can’t think of a better name.

Your elected leaders. Ugh.

Then there is Congress.  They passed another textbook filled with rules and regulations to be certain that no capitalism goes unpunished.  The Dow drops 250 points on the news.  But there’s Barney Frank and Chris Dodd in the most ironic naming of a bill as there ever was, telling us that the bill is going to cure cancer and more.  Thanks boys.  Both would have the time to read the bill during a few years in prison if they were ever held accountable to the very same laws that they passed governing others.

To the reader, I ask one thing:  trust your own eyes.  THEY aren’t the things lying to you.

Remember?

Be afraid.  Very afraid.  Today we hear news that the Secret Service will investigate the burning of an effigy of idiot-in-chief obama as a threat against the life of the President.  Even more, they are considering charging the the person involved with– get this– a hate crime.  Apparently it is worse to think bad of the president if he is black than if he is white– at least by the logic of the Leftists in control of government and most of the media. 

Remember?

People with any honest reasoning ability will be able to write the rest of this post– who can forget the hundreds of images from anti-Bush rallies during his 8 years in office?  I am going to show some of the photos from those days throughout this post, but please visit the definitive blog post about the non-reaction to threats against Bush here. 

Remember?

There is so much hypocrisy over the actions of the Left vs those of the Right;  the media loves to make conservatives out as hate-mongerers, and to do so in the face of the incredible vitriol over Bush requires acrobatics deserving of a gold medal.  Yet they do it anyway– ignore the threats and hate spewed every time a Leftist doesn’t have his/her way, and call the peaceful TEA party protesters ‘thugs.’  Do you ever wonder how their brains work?  Just this morning I heard a caller to a radio station say that the burning of obama’s effigy was ‘an example of the hate from the Republican Party.’  Really!  I realize that everyone has their own perspective, but how does a person allow her political zeal become so great that perceptions are turned upside down?!   

Remember?

Liberals have always engaged in a form of selective observation where they see only what they want to see.  But the distortion must reach delusional levels, now that they have such a fool in the White House.  In another news story this AM I watched as asshole-obama apologized for Arizona’s responsible new law to the President of Mexico, and thought about how most countries have leaders who stand for and support their citizens on the world stage.  Obama must have such contempt for Americans, the way that he speaks about them.  He looks and speaks like a third-world dictator.  Those on the Left who have the ability to think honestly, and who are not unconsciously motivated by fear of losing their union job, left obama behind months ago and apologized to their conservative friends for their lapse of reason.  But the rest have had to suspend logic and reason more and more, as boy-president obama has destroyed our economy, allowed terrorist attacks to increase, endorsed lawlessness and irresponsibility, and abandoned our former allies around the world.  Thanks (for nothing) obama.

As I’ve written before, there is no shortage of things to right about for any conservative blogger.  Did you hear the one about the administration folks who condemned the AZ immigration law?  They haven’t read the law!   (snare drum here!)  Did you hear the one about the president who ran around supporting candidates for the primaries– and 5 out of 5 of his favorites were defeated?  (ba
