Except when dealing with barbarians.

It was within moments of capturing KSCO's signal that I began to hear an engaging commentary by their owner, Kay Zwerling.
Kay's premise was, "If I had told you that within the first 200 days of Barack Obama's presidency...?" And her short list of political atrocities began.
Kay wondered aloud, who would have believed that within the first seven months of the new administration, 90% of all mortgages in the United States would be backed by the federal government (placing the taxpayer at risk for over $5 trillion dollars, I might add). The U.S. government, she said, would also become a major shareholder in one of the world's largest banks, Citigroup-who would have believed it? In addition, Kay pointed out the feds hostile takeover of General Motors and Chrysler, the sacking of their respective CEO's, replacing them with political appointees, and then heartlessly closing hundreds of profitable dealerships across the country, many of whose owners were known to have contributed to Republican politicians and conservative causes.
If Kay had told America this would happen upon electing Barack Obama as president, would the country have listened?
I began working off of Kay's supposition, presenting the same sort of questions to my listeners on KSFO in San Francisco:
"If I told you that if elected, the budget deficit for Barack Obama's first fiscal year would total $1.6 trillion dollars, and in ten years the predicted national debt would surge to $16 trillion, would you have believed me?

Yes, I would have believed it, and by the way..I predicted it as did many others here and elsewhere.
I would have said “Is that all?”
Hopey Changey Baby!
..yep, sure has been lots of change (mostly plugged nickels).
Kay Zwerling must not visit Free Republic.
I’m glad Sussman wrote this. KSCO needs all the help it can get. It’s just about the last of the independently owned stations in the country.
It’s about as bad as I thought it would be.
No matter what anyone tells you, “obama” means “disaster wrought by ignorance and arrogance” in Bantu.
Returning the Churchill bust could have been handled gracefully:
If I were President and wanted to return the bust, when they offered to extend the loan I would have replied that “No, he deserves to go home so that Brittan could enjoy his presence; after all he’s been visiting the US for almost a decade.”
Then, I would travel to England to PERSONALLY deliver it back to them; it could also be used as a start-point to bring up discussion on where/how to direct the War on Terror w/ our allies.
I just forwarded the article to her and Michael.
Graciousness is about the last thing on Bummer’s list.
Yes I would have believed it.
What part of what Alan Keyes told everyone did you not understand?
Did you not hear Rev Wrong screaming?
Did you not see his bud Bill Ayers stepping on an American flag?
Did you not read about his mentor with the 601 page FBI file???
Did you not see that both of his children have RUSSIAN names ??????????
“in ten years the predicted national debt would surge to $16 trillion”
Laughable.
It’s already 12 trillion ..........
But, you have to admit, that would have left things infinitely better.
Except when dealing with barbarians.
I want to puke everytime I see that photo.

Good article-thnx for the post.What’s happening is not surprising,but i never imagined O and his marxist sychophants would(or could)do so much damage so quickly.The upside is i never thought Americans would organize and protest(Tea Parties,DC protest,town hall meetings,etc).About a year ago(?)i attended a support the troops rally here in Tampa.There may have been 40 or 50 of us-total!The Obamination has awakened the majority.Kinda like a snowball rolling down a mountain-gaining size and momentum.No stopping us now:)
