President What's-His-Name (The epic fail that is the Obama regime)
Townhall Finance ^ | July 21, 2011 | John Ransom

Posted on 07/20/2011 10:20:14 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

There’s a millstone hanging around the neck of the US economy.

And his name is Barack Obama.

Blame Bush if you want, but post-9/11, Bush’s policies got the country moving in the right direction after a hard right hook.

Blame Bush if you must, but the “blame Bush” mantra isn’t going down well with voters across the country. A new survey released by Fox News and conducted jointly by Democrat and Republican firms says that a large majority of voters think that the time for blaming Bush is over, including a majority of swing voters.

“Meanwhile, a 58-percent majority thinks it is unfair for President Obama to continue to blame former President George W. Bush for the country’s economic problems,” says Fox News. “Thirty-six percent think it is still fair -- including 6 percent of Republicans. A majority of independents (61 percent) and 28 percent of Democrats think it is unfair for Obama to keep blaming Bush.”

You know why? Because the buck stops on the president’s desk.

Every time someone blames Bush, they just reinforce how irrelevant President Scholarship has been.

President Invest-in-Clean-Energy has pretty much had it his own way since he was coronated. He spent the money he asked for. If he wanted more, he had two years to ask for it, and Congress would have given it to him.

And despite brave talk from President High-Speed-Rail, he was better at writing books than he has been at being president. At least in reading the books, I could fall asleep.

Ah, yes, just another thing Sarah Palin was right about that the mainstream media couldn’t sniff out for themselves. I guess going to all those colleges worked out better for Palin than having say, one journalism degree and working at one job- journalism- your whole life.

Betcha five bucks that one year under a Palin presidency- or a Bachmann, a Perry, a Romney, or a Huntsman presidency, or a (Bill) Clinton regency- that the unemployment arrow will be pointing the right way.

Only an ideologue, tied to academic leftist-dogma, could be proud of such a disastrous record as President-Eat-My-Peas-and-Like-it. And apparently he’s pursued all these goals on purpose.

And here’s the most damning thing about President Class-Warrior: The only people making money so far are the stock traders. Every time I turn around, the stock market is threatening to make new two-year highs, companies are reporting record earnings and even evil banks are reporting profits. Things are going swimmingly on Wall Street.

Oh, and did I tell you President Fundraiser broke a presidential fundraising record?

Hmm. I wonder who donated? Wall Street maybe? Guys with names like Soros and Buffet are doing great. That's what happens when the federal government announces a $600 billion bond purchase program in advance.

That'll give the well-heeled billionaire or fund manager just a little extra for, ah, you know...donations. Well that's what they call them in Chicago, ha ha. And it worked so well the first time, they did it again.

And why doesn’t it surprise me that President Balanced-Budget raised a record $49 million but spent a record $80 million?

Cuz, ya know, Main Street ain’t so hot right now.

The people who are left out in the cold are the vast middle-class, and it includes people who make more than $250,000 a year. People like that, under the right president, can create jobs for the rest of us better than President Tax-the-Rich can with the entire power of the federal government at his disposal. We know that for sure now. Got it?

Because whether you’re a Democrat, a Republican or a swing voter- I’m talking about voters here- President I-Killed-Osama-bin-Laden-Personally, either created this economy on purpose or created it by accident.

It’s time to pick one.

And let the buck stop where it may.

There will be a lot of people that will die because of Obama and his failures.

Most will be innocent hardworking people, probably fathers of households, and maybe single parents.

But mostly it will be because the family has lost hope, will be on the edge of existence if not worse through bankruptcy, lack of jobs, high fuel prices and Obama programs that they refuse to partake of and eventually are put up against the wall figuratively and yet would rather die than accept socialism.

This is the death upcoming in America, people that would rather die than accept the Obama regime, people that will not allow themselves to be incarcerated by standing against any Obama program and just about any other crisis.

Lots of news about family suicides. What they are NOT saying is who they blame, and it sure ain’t the Easter Bunny.

That image does seem to be photoshopped.

Obama’s hand is casting an overt shadow to the left. None of the other people are casting overt shadows.

Zooming in, a different pattern makes up Obama’s shirt than makes up the patterns on the other people’s clothing.

But several ‘photos’ of Obama in his younger years also seem to be manufactured, such as the one with him in a basketball outfit.

President Scholarship skated along on affirmative action, special ed scholarships. Obama (or whatever his name is) has dyscalculia. No matter how many bucks stop on his desk, he has no inkling what they are worth.

This is the second time today I've seen this type of language... kind of wondering out loud if he could be doing this on purpose.

Wonder no longer. Obama fronting for soros and aided by communist henchmen called czars has destroyed the US economy with debt. He has destroyed the American middle class by unemployment and impossible future tax burdens.He took America's wealth, gave it to the unions and called it redistribution.

I am a civilized American but he is the only president on whom I have wished ill-fortune. I see him as a domestic enemy of America and its constitution.

That is openers. Someday I will tell you what I really think of him.

With current trends, this is looking to be an electoral mini landslide if things don’t change The parasites are bunched up in blue states like ny and il. The red and purple states are rejecting this failure. Only a real step toward recovery or bad GOP candidate will make this election close again. The later is much more likely, unfortunately.

Building a sub isn’t all that difficult what with the amount of surplus pressure vessels available, like the propane tank off a truck or a railcar.

And then you just need a ballast control board, pumps, bleed air etc. And if nothing else batteries and motors are light years ahead of the early subs.

Obama often looks photoshopped.

Oops. A teensy little clipboard error there. Let's try again...

The good idea is to ride Soro’s market coat tails as long as Obama is "is"!
