The best prophet of the future is the past. ~ John Sherman

Phyllis Schlafly wrote a great article in Investors recently. It makes the point that the woes of America are not different from the woes the Obama machine visited upon Illinois. In basketball it's called continuation.

Americans are beginning to wonder if Greece is the picture of the U.S.' future. But we need look no further than the place where Obama and his team were trained in community organizing and bully tactics to redistribute the wealth: Illinois.

Illinois was the stomping ground for years for Obama, his top advisers Rahm Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod, and his appointees such as Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. After they promoted themselves to Washington to run the country, other Obama associates who didn't make the cut continued to run Illinois into the ground, as the Illinois unemployment rate jumped from less than 5% to nearly 11%.

Illinois is a fiscal disaster:

Under years of Democratic leadership, Illinois has refused to honor its obligations, cut spending or trim its shockingly large deficit, which at $12 billion per year approaches nearly half its budget. As a result, Illinois' credit rating has been downgraded and it pays a massive amount in interest on its loans.

This fiscal trainwreck is traced back to 2003 in an Illinois comptroller report:

The fiscal outlook for Illinois is not optimistic. The state has failed to build up reserves or address the underlying structural problems of the state’s budget – in particular, the pension and Medicaid liabilities. At the same time as the economy appears to be slowing, the Governor has promised expansions in health care without a permanent revenue source to pay for them. This lack of reserves – and the Medicaid and pension payments “albatrosses” – will be a drag on the state when it faces an inevitable economic downturn, likely already underway.

This has been brewing for some time:

This is no news.

I could tell from the very beginning, that Stroker could (and would) f***up a wetdream at the drop of a hat.

I doubt that I’m alone in this.

I asked people to look at where Obama worked as a community organizer and the corruption, etc that followed. His old community organizing neighborhood was worse after he got through. It was in English papers but not a peep out of “mainstream US news”! Reporters were to busy “moose” hunting for Palin than to compare their actual achievemnts..No surprise flopping aces is catching up. The House Obama bought is another corrupt deal and a half with Mr. Rezko..

Unadulterated evil ALWAYS leaves destruction in its wake...and I have not seem such evil in my lifetime as I am seeing now.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if Fox News, maybe Glenn Beck, Greta Susteren, Krauthammer, or Hume would take this on, research it to confirm, and then do a special?

Shake me awake, someone!

You are one busy blog pimp.

One need look no further than in his role with the Orange pArty's campaign for his cousin Odinga, an Islamofascist bent on takinng over Kenya for the Somali faction of the Islamic Brotherhood.Odinga did the old US leftist trick of protestingthe election results as advized by Obama, sending Orange PArty thugs into the streets, which resulted in inter tribal genocide, Nov. 2007.Thousands died under the torch and pangas of the Orange party, innocent men, women and children. The US MSM did not report it accurately as did news organizations in Britain and Australia, it was campaign season and the MSMdid not want to sullly Obambi. I tracked it trough several Brit ex pat blogs out of Nairobi. It was a massacre .

Trail of destruction? Obama is a genocidal maniac.What America sees is his coldness, but wait until he swings into action here. He is setting that up along the Arizona border.

Howie,

I thought he would do it only in the political relm, i.e. Socialized Medicine.

But all the Executive orders, and czars, making changes and edicts that trun back everything conservatives worked 30 years for in some cases, (i.e partial birth) leaves me stunned and wonder if some of the legislation can be undone.

Ihave watched the puposeful destruction of my beloved Consitutionally Limited Republic and I like many here are pissed beyond words.

I will have my revenge with the ballot box in November, I hope that is a good down payment, until the next ballot bx time rolls around..

There is nothing that the little Marxist bastard has done that we the people cannot reverse.

As long as we take our anger and use it constructively, we can make things right and whole again. It will not be easy nor will it be rapid, but we can do this.

Afterall, WE are the real Americans and WE can do anything.

I don’t give a hoot in hell what Stroker and his minions have to say about it, either.

On 2 November, let’s ROCK!
