Do you think 0bama will have the audacity to intentionally allow the US to default on our bond payments ?
Think about it from a purely political position.
If he feels comfortable enough that he can get away with blaming the GOP for the debacle that is sure to follow, why wouldn’t he do soo ?
He could create the havoc that will allow him the opportunity to come in as the Savior.
Do you think 0bama is going to fold on the debt ceiling or budget battle ?
Why should he fold ?
He wins if we go into default.
This is a HUGE opportunity for him to tip the balance.
An opportunity to send the entire world into an economic crisis while not being responsible since he will get the media’s backing.
To think that 0bama would be worried about his legacy seems a bit naive.
0bama wants to build his legacy in his 3rd term.
If Obama wants this to happen, he’s clueless about what the actual result will be.
I read a piece by that Commie shill Katrina VanHues... something or other ... in the WaPo today. She actually has a clue about what’s really going on, and is pretty freaked out about it. Last two paras in her article are the ones that count ...
Beyond her points about undermining the credibility of the government, the fact is that a default on the debt is going to really mess up the continued funding of the welfare state. If the goal is to provoke a mass uprising through the elimination of benefits (thereby justfying martial law) the Obama Admin will quickly find itself in a no win scenario. There aren’t enough civillian law enforcement and military, combined, to hold down the inner city rioting. Let alone hold down the inner city rioting AND suppress the suburbs and rural areas. Which is where the money and food come from (respectively)
Personally, I don’t buy all this martial law claptrap for just that reason. Anyone with half a brain knows that nationwide martial law is an impossibility. Obama and his team may be Chicago Way thugs, but they’re survivors, not (figuratively speaking) suicidal.
