Thanks (for nothing) Obama!

I check in at Rasmussen Reports now and then, as doing so gives me some measure of faith that you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.  Today obama comes in at minus 14– not sure if that is a new record low on that poll, but if it isn’t it is close.  He has hovered around the negative 10 region for the past couple months, and I figured it was just a matter of time until some of the people in the ‘approve’ column pick up a paper or better yet, decide to do some critical thinking.  Obama just returned from another ‘blame America first’ tour, this time across Asia;  you can find pictures of him bowing so low to the Japanese President that it looks like Asian porn from the right angle.  Obama continued to apologize for that meanie, Bush– who instead of defending himself or his policies was visiting Fort Hood, trying to restore the morale that visits by obama typically deplete.

Obama polls show that Americans are learning the truth about a weak President

I find myself wondering how things will end with obama. He has already done enough damage to our economy that he is assured a legacy, as his deficit spending makes any of Reagan’s deficits puny in comparison–  and while Reagan’s deficits were the result of Congressional spending during Reagan’s tax cuts, the obama deficits will all be the result of obama’s spending and obama’s tax INCREASES– which have maintained, and will maintain, our slow economic growth–  perhaps for decades.  It is amazing how much damage one president can do!  Like is often said, you cannot give a president credit for a good economy (althouthegh the press sure has tried to credit Clinton!!), but you can sometimes blame a president for a bad one!  And every person with a college degree– and many without one– realize that the current problems started out as a global recession because of mortgage derivatives– not because of anything Bush did or didn’t do.  Simpletons will say ‘inherited from Bush’, but doing so is a purely reactive, non-thinking statement;  just ask such a person ‘how did Bush do this to the entire world?’ and wait for the answer that does not exist.  On the other hand, obama DID make things much worse– and you will be able to see that quite clearly going forward, as every other country recovers save the United States.

As for the ending, will he get it?  Will he realize that all of the apologizing does NOT build respect?  He is coming back from Asia totally empty-handed;  the press won’t report on it, but HE knows– obama knows that he wanted to accomplish some things, and he was ignored.  He knows he failed at the Olympic bid.  He knows that the dollar is falling like a stone.  He will see China stop investing in our debt– despite bowing lower and lower for them.  He will see the terrorists keep attacking, and he might even care that Americans will die (don’t hold your breath on that one!!).  Will he ‘get it’?  Will he recognize that he was a fool president?  Will he see, as US healthcare expenditures grow massively from the bureaucracy he creates,  just how wrong he was?  I would like to say ‘yes!’.  But we had the failed welfare system of the 1960′s and 1970′s, and he didn’t apparently learn from them.  So will he see?  When he sees the country mired in Carter-esque stagflation for decades, will he see what he did?  Again, it will be so obvious!  But then again, it already is– watch as the rest of the world explodes with growth, and we do a double-dip recession.  Watch as our unemployment worsens.  And he does not apparently see it… so the smart bet would be that he is one of those ‘lifelong’ Democrats who are blinded by partisanship.

Let's at least learn, and throw the bums out next year

In case you don’t read the details of stimulus plans and other failed obama initiatives, the reason we will not recover like other countries will is because obama spent us into bankruptcy during a recession– but not to do the thing that presidents usually do to reverse recessions, i.e. stimulate the growth of business, which creates jobs.  The blunder was so large that I have to think that obama assumed it would be easy to be president;  that he could just skim money off the economy for his pals, and that the economy would bounce back on it’s own without any help, and despite the harm he would do.  Maybe that would have occurred in some other era, but we really needed help this time.  And instead of providing help, obama made it much worse– he dumped billions upon billions into places and projects that do NOTHING to create jobs or spur economic growth.  In fact, he used billions of dollars to increase the size of government, even developing entirely new agencies.  Anyone in a position to expand a business saw that these new areas of spending were not temporary;  they were the start of projects that will forever cost taxpayers.  So the businessman says, ‘why expand if my taxes are going to go up to 80% in a few years?  Why risk my company if the return is essentially going to the government?’  So businesses did NOT expand.  And now the money is spent.  There is talk of spending ANOTHER 200 billion dollars– let’s see if it is spent wisely, or is instead wasted on paying for new Union-room coffee machines.

One final note-  I had the thought as I was reading about the billions upon billions that were being wasted on the new suddenly-endangered species that those people have quite a racket.  There were reports yesterday and today that environmental agencies had moseyed up to the spending hog-trough and were raking in huge increases in funding.  It occurred to me– who would question that?!  Can you see the press (outside of Fox news) going after agencies that protect spotted owls?  Michael Crichton had the guts to take on those agencies and was immediately dropped from all of the Hollywood guest lists;  with him gone (RIP) there is nobody, save John Stossel (who is already being pilloried) who will say a word about the issue.  And me, of course– but only two or three people get to hear my ranting!!

Unfortunately there is no giving him back!

If you DO read this, do me a favor and hit a ‘share’ button below– or better yet, hit several.  ‘Stumble upon’ me.  Digg me.  Or try Reddit.com– although I have found that those guys in their political posting section stick to the left.  If you can share me with someone, please do.  And THANKS!

Obama just did his usual ‘blame America first’ thing–  apologizing for the recent ‘disengagement’ of the US in the region (which is just plain wrong).  Perhaps someone else can figure out what the heck obama’s strategy is with this constant humiliation of our country at his hands;  the only certain thing is that it is all political, as that is what guides all that obama does.  The health care mess is now exhibit A– he needs to sign SOMETHING– ANYTHING– to declare a victory.  He won’t read it or even care what it says– he won’t worry whether it will lead to the demise of our health care system, lead to individual irresponsibility, or lead to bankruptcy– as it is all about politics, and about HIM– the Anointed One.  And so he bows;  rather than ‘take a bullet for the country’, he prefers that ‘the country take a bullet for him’.   He doesn’t risk his capital to build up the US;  he destroys the reputation of the US in order for HIM to appear as a ‘good guy’.  What a jerk.

Will his patsies say we imagined it again?

The last time obama bowed, his patsy came out the next day and said that it was NOT a bow.  The news agencies ignored the lie– just ignored it and moved on.  What does it take for the liberal media to shake their heads clear of the hormones of a teenage crush, and report the facts?  This embarrassing display will top the news tomorrow, as it should;  the US dollar is plummeting from the reckless spending by obama and he is out apologizing and bowing– this from a country who just a year ago looked in the mirror with pride, while France and Germany elected conservative leaders, sick of the usual socialist garbage that had destroyed their economies and ashamed of the ‘oil for food’ and other secret deals with dictators uncovered by our country.  What will the flunkies say tomorrow– that obama tripped?  Or will they make up some new US protocol that says we should kiss the butt of every other world leader first, before showing strength on the world stage (oh my God– obama and ‘strength on the world stage’ in one sentence– too funny)?

I remind you all, by the way, that obama is right now ‘deciding’ on what to do about our soldiers in Afghanistan.  They guy you all elected who said he would enter office with a plan to win THAT war (he promised to lose the other one– and you still elected him.  Go figure)– and he is still ‘thinking’.  He has had almost a year to ‘think’, and needs more time while our Generals ask for help for our brave soldiers.  Look at obama– look at him bowing, while our soldiers are under fire.  What a jerk.  Does it look like he is ‘thinking’ about how to win a war?

Meanwhile our unemployment rate skyrockets and obama decides to hold a ‘jobs summit’… to discuss why the excuses they are using– that ‘we didn’t know how bad Bush had made things’– isn’t working at this point, 9 months into his presidency.  By this time, Bush was 2 months into the 9/11 attacks, planned under Clinton’s watch!

I ask that people notice the pattern of indecision under obama.  It was ignored during the campaign, but people should at least  be aware of it now– so we never elect such a huckster again, to any office.  The one thing he did– the ‘stimulus plan’– he farmed out to Congress and his supporters, and the result was a massive payoff for votes.  He then said ‘give me ANY healthcare bill’- he doesn’t care what it says;  he just wants credit for doing something.  He has done nothing about Guantanamo.  Nothing about Iraq.  Nothing in Afghanistan– even when a decision is sorely needed.  Nothing.

What a jerk.  A coward, a politician, a jerk.

Thanks (for nothing) obama!
