Obama Has Already Helped Wreck the Economy
Pajamas Media ^ | November 26 | Tom Blumer

Posted on 11/26/2008 11:15:44 AM PST by AJKauf

After an awful week in the stock market, Team Obama sent its acolytes out to the Sunday morning shows to let everyone know that the president-elect’s campaign promise to impose tax increases on higher-income earners as quickly as possible probably won’t kick in until at least 2011.

By doing so, Obama and his inner circle finally, if only tacitly, acknowledged what they had refused to recognize during the presidential campaign, namely that economic expectations matter in the here and now.

The recession, once it becomes official, will richly deserve designation as the POR (Pelosi-Obama-Reid) recession....

I suppose he doesn’t mention his global warming fetish where he’ll bankrupt entire segments of our economy.

That’s every bit as onerous and even worse than his ill-conceived income tax schemes.

The economy was wrecked under George Bush’s watch.

Six years of GDP growth, 8 million new jobs all started under a Clinton recession. Yeah, right.

Say what you may about Obama, but he is showing leadership.

Here's what I will say: he is showing nothing of the kind. He is an empty suit and came to the national scene as a savior because of a verbose speech he gave at the 2004 DNC convention. I can't wait for him to organize the DC community.

Conservatives have no real answers for the serious problems like healthcare

McCain had a far superior health care plan than did Obama. Of course there are those who think the government is the only entity that can manage health care properly. Hey, I've got an idea, let's turn our national health care over to the former managers of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The American people want pragmatic leadership -

So they elected someone they know nothing about. Now THAT'S pragmatism for ya'.

The Republicans are fumbling, no doubt, acting as panicking providers to a bunch of liberal culture acting as dogs.

Now the stupid US electorate did not vote for McCain despite addressing these issues concretely, BUT THEY VOTED FOR OBAMA’S VACUOUS MESSAGES OF CHANGE.

Obama has no leadership, except in dog breeding Pavlovian feel good terms of it. This is not leadership but running away from the issues like a coward cop taken by the Katrina storm aftermath.

Bush, the PC coward GOP butt boy who saw Putin’s soul, might have peeked in Obama’s, no doubt. He’s trying all he can to rescue Obama and the “Presidency” which Obama secretly scoffs at, thinking of himself instead as the served Messiah of grand el Jorge himself... BET MTV cultural genocide style.

Obama is obviously not complaining of having his toes manucured to the tune of 7.5 trillion by gullible vulnerable permissive liberals who are in awe of this star of permissiveness, snorting their LSD, screaming “We’re not worthy”.

Thus we have a surreal denial situation in which Bush is going to be blamed by liberals for the very economy liberals asked of him.

But what can we expect from racist PC little white boyz and girlz of college who can’t sleep with a black person without having snorted coke or seen BET or MTV soothing mainstream media chants prior the act?

Truth is most voters for Obama and this mess, in their normal uninfluenced state of mind, hate Obama for racial reasons. Most liberal gay white commedians base their skeets on vulgar permissive racist slurs.

Under the leadership of Obama and friends, the U.S.A. will not exist in eight years. We will all be slaves to some other country.

Did Obama put us into debt for another $700 billion? I heard a little on the news this morning about an additional $700 billion, but haven’t had a chance to find out more about it. But how could Obama do something like that? Bush couldn’t even give the first $700 billion without Congressional approval, and he’s the President.

“The American people want pragmatic leadership - not time-worn cliches...”

Thank you for setting us all such a good example!

Be sure to get extra cranberry sauce with your turkey.

Some things need to be said. Bush is no racist like liberals are, but he sure needs his sugar coating it for his disdainful acts...

besides I cannot taste turkey well with the sauce (my missing tastebuds notwithstanding).

The $700 BILLION is supposed to be waiting on Obama’s desk, ready to sign the minute he’s sworn in. That’s the gist I get.
