Obama surrendered his agenda last night
Washington Examiner ^ | 03-25-2009 | Byron York

At his news conference Tuesday night, President Obama stressed the four most important goals he hopes to accomplish this year: health care reform, energy legislation, education reform, and deficit reduction. But by the end of the hour-long session with the White House press corps, Obama had retreated on three of the four.

My wife made the same comment - “he doesn’t know anything about what he’s talking about”.

Take out deficit reduction, he has no intention of that happening,

but all the others are about getting control over everyone’s lives.

Control someone’s education of their children, their energy usage, and their access to medical care, and you pretty much control them. The only thing left is food, and they are trying to control that through their backdoor food safetey requirements.

“Prediction: he will be removed soon. The RAT powers-that-be will signal that it will be OK to push the BC issue, the SCOTUS will hear the case and he will be gone. If that scenario does not play out, then...”

Plan B

I watched the conference up to the answer to the second question presented. What I took from it was:

A) it's going to be a long, difficult road to recovery; and

B) we all need to pull together if we're going to pull it off.

After those talking points were addressed for the third time, I found myself talking back to the t.v. — “WE GET IT! LONG, HARD AND WE PAY FOR IT.”

Upon the Presidents second obfuscation in response to the second question, I turned off the television, washed up the dinner dishes, got a cup of Joe and retired to my bedroom to watch the “Best of Mother Angelica - Live”, “NCIS”, “The Mentalist” (which was boring), “Christ in the City” and “Major Religious Orders of Men”.

It took all that to get the taste out of my mouth to go to sleep.

To me it sounded like the ramblings of a fool.

How can you write an accurate 'analysis-piece' on the President's agenda when even he isn't capable of articulating it.

The left NEVER SURRENDERS. They must be VANQUISHED!

I don't give a DAMN what the analysts say, what kind of posture the liberals take, how many times they're beaten back from the gates.

The Barbarians are always there--and they refuse to go away. We must keep them out--just like Terminix or Orkin keeps the roaches out of your pantry. Defeat them before they infiltrate.

After his two-bit performance using a teleprompter as a crutch and his imbecile smackdown of a reporter, look for Zero to refrain from future venuse like this.

He will probably be giving us direction via an Oval Office venue, and will not subject himself to questioning by mere reporters unless they are carefully handpicked.

After all, he is a Man Who Would Be King.

How does one hope to accomplish debt reduction while proposing a budget with a 2.3TR red line?

0bama originally wanted $4.6 Trillion, so a budget of $2.3Trillion is quite a "reduction" of that debt.

And he keeps his promise of cutting the deficit in half.

Ain't pulbick etchucasion wounderfull?

my prediction:

1-SCOTUS will not grant certiorari

2-claim it to be out of their judicial reach

3-say it needs to go to Congress first

They have been no help before and I’m afraid they won’t help now as much as I’d like to see it...I’ll have to see it before i believe.
