Rush speaking today on his show:
I think that sums up who is taking whom hostage today. We are being held hostage by the Democrat Party. We are being held hostage by the Washington, DC, Ruling Class. And just think, the Senate is voting right now on measures to raise the US debt ceiling. In a few moments, in a very few moments, this crisis will be over and everybody can sigh (sighs) and move on to other things. But how long will it be before we have the next crisis? Whatever happened to the "no drama Obama" we were sold during the 2008 campaign? There is gonna be the next Armageddon. There will be a next crisis, and it will happen within seven days.
I heard that but didn’t think much of it.
Saving SS and Medicare through “Shared sacrifices.” It has already started.
What gives with 7 days. Rush the fortune teller.
We’re moving on back from the East side, Obama ate our piece of the pie.
Probably when our debt gets downgraded and interest rates start to go up. Hang on to your hats....
The next crisis will be the Treasury Bond auction where we will discover that it really makes very little difference whether or not our debtor nation raises it’s self imposed debt ceiling if no one in the world community wants to lend money at a effective negative rates of return on investment to our country which is recklessly spending it’s it’s way into a sovereign debt crisis.
Of course, Europe may get there before we do at the rate they are going..
It’s always something...
I don’t know about seven days but I predict about september 25 Obama will be hair on fire screaming we need to pass a continuing resolution to keep the gov’t going. If I was in the house I would propose a 90% continuing resolution that suspends baseline budgeting. If they passed it in the next few days and tell Harry Reid and Obama if they don’t like it to get busy on the budget.
Hasbro has tons of money...
I think what Rush is saying is that Obama and the left are governing from one phoney made up crisis to the next. I don’t think it’s a prognostication of any actual action-impelling events, so much as it is a statement of fact that Obama and the Dems will invent a new “crisis” to advance their agenda.
I think the fed meets up again on August 9, seven days from today. That may be what’s up.
Next shoe to drop: Greece will default.
Once they BECOME the establishment, they cannot govern - they have to target someone else to be the bad guy: Big Oil, Big Pharma, Corporate Jet Owners, Billionaires.
Crisis upon crisis upon crisis, til November 2012.
I think he's pretty much proven he doesn't know anything about anything.
Don’t doubt our little fuzzy ball.
I think I saw that long treasuries have already gone up to 3.99% today.
TARP was justified by a potential crisis — financial collapse. Today’s action was justified by a potential crisis — debt downgrade. We are being played.
That sure would distract from a failing economy and focus everyone on Obummers leadership in replacing Biden, a real liability.
