This isn’t a failure for O, it’s a success. What makes people think that these guys are so dumb that they don’t know their plan will hurt rather than help?
They know that. And it is precisely the worsening “crisis” that will “justify” their increasing power grab as time goes on.
Seriously. Isn’t this obvious?
Anybody ever hear of the Road to Serfdom?
I think Obama’s approach is basically the “Autobahn to Serfdom”.
I think you’ve nailed it. This has been bothering me a lot. I think Nancy Pelosi is as dumb as a box of rocks, but Obama isn’t. His intelligence is waaay underestimated by some conservatives. Think some Freepers here. He has a good idea of what his actions will do. Most presidents, especially new ones, don’t want to do things that will fail because they want to be re-elected. So why is he doing this when he knows that it will disrupt our economy? There’s no good answer to that question for people who love our country.
You’re right, this is what Obama, Pelosi, Reid, etc want.
But its what the masses of brain-dead Obama supporters want, as well..
If the economy starts to rebound a year or two from now, Obamanomics will get all the credit and be installed as our national fiscal doctrine for life. Republicans will be hammered as the party who tried to stop progress. (Remember Clinton campaigning in 96 bragging how his stimulus plan helped reverse Bush Sr’s supposed recession, despite the Republicans opposing it? And that was only a $16 Billion “stimulus” package.
On the flip-side...if the economy continues to worsen in the next 2 yrs, (as it almost certainly will )the dems will go the social engineering route, pass Amnesty, use ACORN, screw up the census etc in order to secure their re-elections.. I don’t think the GOP leadership (if there is any) has enough backbone to stand up to them...and even if they do, they will get out-voted in both houses anyway.
Either way, we’re screwed, the best bet is to hope the economy bottoms out, forcing the GOP to return to its conservative roots, raise some hell, and focus on rallying around a true Conservative candidate for 2012
