CATASTROPHE LOOMS - PASS THIS THING SAYS BAM

The President is warning of an impending “catastrophe” in the event his ever-swelling “stimulus” bill doesn’t pass in the Senate. Yet, only 37% of Americans like the spendulous plan, which has now gone north of the $900 billion line.

Gee, I don’t know why.

Doesn’t the senatorial addition of cash for medical research and tax breaks for car purchases make a bad spending bill a little better?

Even support among Democrats for this hideousness has slipped ten percentage points since last week.

And now, a posse of so-called Senate centrists have hop scotched over to the White House to voice their objections to the President’s trillion-dollar disaster by asking for $50 billion in cuts.

How delightful. That ought to make it even better, don’t you think?

My question is … which contingent of the population is more reprehensible – those that serve in Congress, or those of us who put them there?

Fifty billion? Out of over $900 billion? That still leaves this version of the bill more expensive than the one that passed the House last week?

What is the game here? To bat around the $900 billion figure for a day or two so that when the bill does pass in the Senate - and it will, mark my words - the illusion of responsible budgeting can be peddled to the masses? Is that like jacking up the prices of all inventory in the store just before the Going Out Of Business sale kicks in so prices can be slashed dramatically?

From Fox News:

Well, you were dumb enough to hire a street walker with a wafer thin resume, pass the bill, dummy.

Just a communist at work

Obama has already stated that with the 3 RINO’s voting for this bill that it would be passed with BI-PARTISAN support. Let’s see how fast the MSM promotes that statement!

[plain talk]

Obama IS the catastophe.

[Tarpon]

The real problem is word is spreading that porkulud won't help the economy one bit. When that happens all the hope-N-change^tm speeches isn't going to mean a thing.

I immediately sent off emails to McCain, Kyl, McConnell and Boehner to please stop this man! 2010 cannot come soon enough for me........ PLEASE Everyone... take a minute and start emailing all your representatives and CC the McConnell and Boehner with your emails.

Any Republican who votes for this disaster should face a strong primary challenge the next time they come up for election, and a third-party challenge from the right in the general. If they can’t stand firm on this, it would be better if their seats were held by Democrats.

[Secret Agent Man]

Socialist is as socialist does.

Everything is being labeled a ‘catastrophe’. It’s all bullsh1t. They’re just making it worse. It’s a total exuse to spend whatever the hell they want to spend, OUTSIDE the ENORMOUS REGULAR federal budget.

it’s bullsh1t. Start shrugging. Hide your wallets. Go craigslist.

[Know et al]

When they start screaming castrophe, you had better look even closer.

The Strategy of Manufactured Crisis

America waits with bated breath while Washington struggles to bring the U.S. economy back from the brink of disaster.  But many of those same politicians caused the crisis, and if left to their own devices will do so again.

Despite the mass media news blackout, a series of books, talk radio and the blogosphere have managed to expose Barack Obama's connections to his radical mentors -- Weather Underground bombers William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis and others.  David Horowitz and his Discover the Networks.org have also contributed a wealth of information and have noted Obama's radical connections since the beginning.

Yet, no one to my knowledge has yet connected all the dots between Barack Obama and the Radical Left.  When seen together, the influences on Obama's life comprise a who's who of the radical leftist movement, and it becomes painfully apparent that not only is Obama a willing participant in that movement, he has spent most of his adult life deeply immersed in it.

But even this doesn't fully describe the extreme nature of this candidate.  He can be tied directly to a malevolent overarching strategy that has motivated many, if not all, of the most destructive radical leftist organizations in the United States since the 1960s.
