“WE TOLD YOU SO! WE TOLD YOU SO! WE TOLD YOU SO!”
::::::::::
Just a message to the fools of the electorate that made this nightmare happen.
It was clear the morning of 11/4/08 that the republic was over. Our fellow-citizens did this - those who voted for Obozo and those who stayed home and did nothing.
Excellent article!
I believe that we have to go into overtime to work to hold Obama responsible for the economy RIGHT NOW. Otherwise, as it drags on and on, he will continue to use “Bush killed the economy, and I’m just a helpless victim of his terrible Republican policies” for a year, two years, four years.
People who understood the world of business and the market KNEW Obama would be a disaster and said as much.
It’s Obama’s fault.
Say, “Obama lied, the economy died. Make a lib go apoplectic.
Lo and behold, the unemployment numbers for every month since (and including) the election have been appalling. Chickens coming home to roost indeed.
It’s hard to feel sorry for my fellow Americans who voted for Change-O and now, suddenly they’re unemployed.
A Very True and Frightening Post!
“It may take a while but evidentially those people getting their extra $13 a week from Obama are going to start wondering if it was worth it.”
Great point. But we need to start laying the ground for that realization today. Don’t let the media redefine the economy to blame it all on “Republican mismanagement.”
Root out the evidence to build the case that shows people that the investors and CEOs and business people BLAMED Obama in advance - and knew what they were talking about.
Libs don’t care about “building” the economy. They want “fairness.” But “fairness” creates stagnation 100% of the time, because too many let others work do the work for them and hold out their hand for their “fair share.”

Spending Money Today to Lose Money Tomorrow
Posted by: Michele Bachmann at 5:55 PM
As Congress readies itself to spend $300 million on golf carts as part of their multi-hundred-billion-dollar stimulus proposal, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has provided some very alarming numbers - and Congress should take heed.
According to the CBO, in 2009 and 2010, 98% of the tax cuts in the Democrats’ economic “stimulus” package will go into effect, providing for 1.4% growth in our nation’s Gross Domestic Product in that time. However, the other 2% of the stimulus tax cuts will go into the economy between 2011 and 2019 - along with about half the spending in the package. The problem with this equation is that the $1.1-trillion price tag (which includes the interest on the total package), our increasing debt and our crowding out of private sector activity will drive down our Gross Domestic Product to .2% less than it is today, prior to the stimulus.
So what you want to take away from these numbers is this:
Spending $1.1 trillion today will result in a loss of 0.2% of our wealth tomorrow. (Check out the Graph)
According to the peer-reviewed research and methodology of Dr. Christina Romer, the President’s head of the Council of Economic Advisors and the nation’s chief economist, The Republican Economic Recovery Plan creates twice the jobs at half the cost.
Americans know that tax cuts are a better way to immediately stimulate the economy than wasteful government spending.

They will not realize how dangerous Obozo is until it’s too late.

Stimulus Sellout: 3 GOP Senators Slashed Billions in Tax Cuts; Specter Got $6.5 Billion

The “gang of three” — liberal Republican Sens. Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, and Susan Collins — who handed President Obama the stimulus bill he so desperately needed, apparently sacrificed billions in tax cuts during final negotiations over the measure in order to reduce its cost.
Economy tanking = Obama’s fault.
“People will be hunting Democrats with dogs by the end of the century” Phil Gramm (when asked what would result if Clinton’s proposals were passed.
Well Clinton went to the center, the repubs took over in 94, so we’ll see if Gramm’s remark’s are true this time around.
Oh, my dear God that is funny, Admiral Kirk!
Thanks for the laugh - and the genuine insight.
Does anyone have a comparison of the vote count for republicans between 2004 and 2008? I have seen numerous references to “those that stayed home”, and I wondered if the actual R vote counts reflected a large drop-off.
I’ll put that article in a file for future use. I AM TRYING TO ACCUMULATE A STOCKPILE OF EVIDENCE FOR FUTURE USE.
I have one from the Washington Post that says some of the same things.
We need to open up our cans of whoopass on Obama and the socialist turkeys running the country into the ground. And we need to do it now.
Things are going to get so bad under President BlackBerry that I won’t get any satisfaction rubbing the noses of those responsible in the mess they made possible.
