Wasn’t he in the early 80’s band, Devo?

The scumbag Ubama threw this assbag Orszag under the bus so he can look like he’s starting fresh, “with a new budget director who can help me take the bold steps necessary to balance the nation’s budget”, etc. It’s all a political shell game to these animals.

Orszag will be replaced by somebody the Democrat “mainstream” newsrooms can call a “conservative” - - the new director may even be a sellout Republican - - who will then serve strictly as a figurehead; a willing dupe who will sit there doing nothing serious (except provide cover) while the communist Ubama continues full speed ahead with his agenda of reparations and turning America into a Euro-style socialist welfare state.

Bookmark this post so you can come back and congratulate me for foreseeing the obvious.
(yawn)

Since being the budget guy in administration that got us 14 trillion in debt is like being the guy who gets chicks for Elton John...

They need someone smart. Maybe with a Nobel Peace Prize.

I got it! Paul Krugman. The smartest economist in the world. He will save us.

Yes Krugman says it’s time to spend, let our grandchildren do the saving.

I have no facts to back this up, but my gut instinct about Rahm Emmanuel is that he is leaving the U.S.A., taking his family with him, and running to Israel.

Why? I suspect because he doesn’t want to go to prison. Israel won’t turn him over to stand trial in another country, so if he is indicted for crimes related to Blago’s trial in Chicago Rahm will be untouchable.

The first of many. The story should be prefaced...”In an attempt to salvage what little credibility he has left”...__________ has tendered his/her resignation.

...the Obama experiment is over except for the shouting.

Change one letter, and that might also be true.

“.......the Obama experiment is over except for the shouting.”

That IS what we want isn’t it?

Obama's approval numbers are at historical lows. We will see if the 0bama is really just another arrogant leader or if we are really about to be dealing with a dangerous narcissistic personality dictator.

If 0bama now proves to be just another arrogant leader then this is what we want to see happening. 0bama's first term becomes a lame duck session and America dodges a bullet. With all the red flags surrounding 0bama, I'll take a few years of lame duck and thank the Lord above for answered prayers.

IF this goes the other way...pray for courage and strength.

Onada reqires “creative” budget making. The reached his level of creativity and was shown the door. He hit the wall when he couldn’t make -2 plus -8 equal plus 10.

If you don’t have a budget, why do you need a budget director?

If you can’t count that high, you can’t even pretend to do a budget.

Change two letters to "i", and it's still true.
