What if an American President campaigned as a pragmatic centrist, promised tax cuts to 95% of the American people and pledged himself to a new era of government honesty, openness and bipartisanship, but never had any of those intentions? The result might be a cabinet full of tax cheats, political cronies and lobbyists, and a president peddling an overstuffed budget of liberal dream-schemes at a time when the American economy can least afford an extra nickel for folderol or fiddling.
Meanwhile Rome is burning.
President Obama rolls the dice and grabs a can of kerosene.
This president's budget, plus the Faux Stimulus monstrosity, plus the TARP bailouts all add up to the biggest, most irresponsible spending spree in American history. Yet, according to some of the best and brightest economists on the planet, these schemes are built upon overly rosy expectations, will do little to stimulate any economic growth and promise to punitively tax the very people and industries we need to provide investment capital and jobs to actually create the pie from which all these liberal cherries are to be plucked.
If I didn't know better, I might suspect these people aren't really interested in returning America to prosperity.
The man who is now president, Barack Obama, is precisely the man whose spiritual mentor for 2 decades, Jeremiah Wright, denounced "white folks greed" running "a world in need." Barack Obama is precisely the man whose political mentor, Saul Alinsky, advised the use of any and all means necessary to take power in America, and to clothe his deceit in "moral garments." Barack Obama is precisely the man whose most influential and moneyed backer was George Soros, the Fabian socialist whose financial schemes have garnered great wealth for him while leaving whole economies in shambles, the way ours is now.

America, let’s face it, still has a coal economy. When Obama said he was going to bankrupt the coal industry, he was saying he was going to bankrupt America.

Says it all.
President Bush stimulus = $1200 check to me.
President Obama stimulus = higher taxes for me.
Hmmmm... I wonder which one would actually stimulate the economy? Ask your liberal friends to explain how Obama’s plan is better.
Freepers never denied this Obama, it’s what most of us knew would happen.
Which is why the Republicans need to take back Congress next year, before it’s too late.
I’m also praying for the SARAHlution in 2012.....
Fixed it for you...
I am surprised more people are not seething grabbing torches and pitchforks.. Because the GRABoids are looting America by the truckload.. Like the Borg.. The Hive is buzzing as America is being cannibalized..
I knew that he was a lying SOS when first seeing him.
Reality Check? People who voted for B. Hussein 0bama denied reality every step of the way. There remains so many of them defending him despite what is unfolding before their very eyes.
The Economy is so Bad! . .
HOW BAD IS IT?
CEO’s are now playing miniature golf.
Even people who have nothing to do with the Obama administration aren’t paying their taxes.
Hotwheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.
Obama met with small businesses to discuss the Stimulus Package: GE, Pfeizer and Citigroup.
PETA serves chicken wings at their meetings
McDonalds is selling the 1/4 - ouncer.
People in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children’s names.
A truck of Americans got caught sneaking into Mexico
The most highly-paid job is now jury duty.
Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.
People in Africa are donating money to Americans.
Mothers in Ethiopia are telling their kids, “finish your plate, do you know how many kids are starving in the US ?”
Motel Six wont leave the light on.
The Mafia is laying off judges.
And all the idiots who voted for him can do is parrot “Yes we can!” like the stupid fools they are.
Hmmmm... I wonder which one would actually stimulate the economy?
I hate to be the guy with the bad news but that cash you got to keep was borrowed and added to the national debt. News is debt is a major problem with the current economy.
Comrade 0bama to the rescue.
bump for later.
Who Denied?
nobody here at FR denied.
Morons and Leftist? some denied and the ones who never denied are the dangerous ones.
lol...
Republicans...
And just exactly how would that help us? How would it reverse this damage? DO you honestly believe that the republican party will do anything other than grow government and increase the fed govs strangle hold on the states and the people? Did you happen to miss the last couple of decades?
Face it, the GOP is UNDENIABLY the right wing of the socialist party. Open your eyes and see the truth , it sucks, but its necessary to know the whole truth before you can provide for it.
“Too late”? For what? if you mean for this nation to be “saved” through “conventional” means, its been too late for a very long time. We CAN NOT save this nation or its citizens who willingly submit themselves to slavery.
But...
We CAN save the concepts of freedom and liberty. We CAN save the principles and beliefs that led to the creation of the constitution and declaration. We CAN remove ourselves from the influence of those who would enslave us to the state and the collective. Its our right to do so.
“Meanwhile Rome is burning. President Obama rolls the dice and grabs a can of kerosene.”
He wants CHANGE and needs chaos to pressure the public into accepting the Socialist Revolution of America.
It is deliberate. He fiddles while Rome burns. Who’s coming over to entertain the naked emperor this week? Stevie Wonder? it’s been done. Earth Wind and Fire? Done. Willie Tyler and Lester? Blowfly?
An excellent post, but of course I liked the one above the best.
