With the inaguration of Barack Hussein Obama Jr. as America’s next President, at a time when liberal Democrats now control both Houses of Congress, America has entered a new dimension – the 5th Dimension.
This is the dawning of the age of Obama, oops, I mean Aquarius.
Gone is the Era of Capitalism, the Evils of Bush. The Age of Contention and Confrontation is finally over.
President Obama will bring a renewed sense of hope and change to America – and to the world. Peace will finally sweep the planet. Old enemies will now sit peaceably at the same table and resolve their age-old differences without further bloodshed.
President Obama and the liberal Democrats will break America from her fossil fuels dependency. We’ll now embark on a renewed age of abundant clean green energies, creating millions of clean, good paying green jobs for everyone.
President Obama and the liberal Democrats will eliminate the high cost of medical care, making the best medical treatments available to all.
President Obama and the liberal Democrats will make a quality education a reality for millions of American children. After all, it’s all for the children.
Yes, President Obama and the liberal Democrats will finally make Americans healthy, wealthy and wise.
Harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding. No more falsehoods or derisions. Golden living dreams of visions, mystic crystal revelation, and the mind's true liberation. Truly, we are now in the Age of Aquarius.
And if you’re buying any of this, I have a bridge I can sell you – cheap. Of course, you’ll need some of that “stimulus package” money to fix it up.
It doesn’t matter if you’re buying any this, because you’re still paying for it. So will your children, and your grandchildren.
B.H. Obama said during his campaign that he had a plan to fix our economy. He repeated that claim this week. Yet, no one has seen any such plan. No details, no specifics. Just hope and flowery rhetoric. That’s Obamanomics.
He did say we should expect trillion dollar budget deficits for years to come. In other words, Obamanomics isn’t going to work, by his own admission.
B.H Obama claims he’s open to any ideas that will fix our economy. Except any ideas that have been proven to work, like cutting taxes. Not satisfied with cutting income taxes for those who actually pay income taxes, B.H. Obama’s “income tax cuts” actually include transfer payments to people who don’t pay income taxes.
I guess it’s kind of hard to give 95% of people a tax cut when 48% of people don’t pay income taxes.
Obama is a committed leftist, who thinks massive government spending is the answer to a struggling economy.
All the government spending/bailouts to date haven’t turned the economy around. The Treasury Department can’t even account for the $350 billion it just spent. Doing more of the same isn’t going to work, either. Every dollar the government spends takes a dollar and a half from the private sector economy. More government is not the answer.
B.H. Obama said his undisclosed Obamanomic plan will create two and a half million new jobs. No, wait. It will save three million jobs. No, wait. It will save or create three to four million jobs. With Obamanomics, 80%, no, wait. 90% of these jobs will be in the private sector. That means either 10% or 20% of these jobs will be government jobs. He plans to create 300,000 - 800,000 new government jobs. That’s growing government, not the private sector.
The only way government can create private sector jobs is by removing the barriers to job creation, which encourages entrepreneurs to start new businesses and expand existing businesses. Paradoxically, cutting tax rates actually increases tax revenues to the government.
It’s worked every time it’s been tried.
If you think Obamanomics is confusing, just wait until you see the plan Health and Human Services Secretary designate Ton Daschel has for the government mandated health insurance for everyone.
The Global Warming Faithful will like the fact hat Obama’s climate czar designee served on the Commission for a Sustainable World Society, which is run by the Socialist International.
Obama’s Secretary of State designee and her husband have received at least $492 million in donations in the last decade, including more than $140 million from at least a dozen foreign governments. They have received at least $1 million from the governments of Australia, the Dominican Republic, Norway, Oman, Brunei, Taiwan, Qatar and Kuwait. Saudi Arabia gave more than $10 million. The ruling Zayed family of the United Arab Emirates donated between $1 million and $5 million.
Schools led by B. H. Obama's Secretary of Education designee failed the No-Child-Left-Behind standard for the last five years.
And now we have an incoming Treasury Secretary (the guy who’ll be in charge of the IRS) who doesn’t pay his taxes.
B.H. Obama is obviously into recycling. He’s recycling every liberal career politician looking for work in Washington.
B.H. Obama has now said he’ll issue an Executive Order to close the terrorist detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. No word on where the terrorist detainees will go from there. If they’re tried in U.S. courts, most of the evidence against them will be ruled as legally inadmissible. A comforting thought when you consider 11% of the detainees released in the past two years have gone on to commit further acts of terrorism.
But I guess that’s to be expected when you view terrorism as a matter of law and order instead of as a war.
This is the dawning of the Age of Obama.
Foolish choices or wise, America gets the government we deserve.
According to Strauss and Howe, this country has entered what they call the Fourth Turning.......
Beat me to it!
I debated back and forth between The Twilight Zone and the Age of Aquarius. Decided The Twilight Zone theme didn’t have lyrics, the Age of Aquarius did. Yes, we know it’s going to be a Twilight Zone. But the other side views it as the Age of Obama.
Actually it will be the "Age of Aquire for Us".
